If you’re a little kid who wants to be the next Pete Sampras, or a big kid who knows the only thing he’ll ever have in common with Sampras is a back-of-the-lantern bald spot but still likes to know what’s happening in the junior game, visit our friend Colette Lewis’s excellent junior tennis weblog.
Colette’s on the case, and posts enough of the time to make repeat visits well worth it. Also on the junior front, we have good news for tennis nuts in Canada, that vast, frozen land north of here that some say is a nation. Rogers Television, a major Canadian cable provider, has entered into a partnership with Tennis Canada to broadcast the final of the Canadian Indoor Junior Championships. The telecast will air from the Mayfair Racquet and Fitness Clubs in Markham, Ontario, this Saturday starting at 2 P.M. Eastern.
And, if you’re a horror-movie fan, you can act quickly and sign an online petition to force Rogers to add the “Horror Channel” to its offerings. Insert bad Tennis Channel joke here.
Note to our Canadian friends: Gotcha.
