Anne also won 3 USTA gold balls in one day at The U.S. Amateur Clay Courts in Pittsburgh, PA, winning the singles, doubles and mixed doubles. In 1987, af

Hear from a former NCAA All American, a top 89 ATP player who had wins over #1 Rafal Nadal and the #1 Bryan Brothers who shares that despite very few believed he was good enough as a young player after years in college believed he could be a great player and belong on tour.
