The year is early and first slam is already being played.

Are you going to see any live Tennis in 2014?

Last year, during the first year of our website, I pushed my case to become a Tennis Frontier Correspondent. I even attended my first event as a correspondent in New Haven although it wasn't quite official. I also made a cameo appearance in New York at the US Open and saw Vika, Ana and Youzny

For 2014, I have the following plans: I am on the east coast of USA, so I only have a choice of 5-6 events to choose from during the entire year, as a result I looked at the 2014 WTA calender and planned early.

My choices are Miami and Charleston in March (Charleston actually ends in April), Washington DC (my town) in July, Cinncinati, New Haven and finally the US Open which spans between august and September.

I have decided in 2014 I will attend at least 2 events plus US Open. For now, as we are early in the year, I am considering my first event, the choice is between Miami and Charleston, Miami is the farthest from me. I'd have to fly to get there. So I have decided on Charleston because I can drive there and also because of the timing, it fits my schedule better. The bonus for me, this is a WTA only event and that's my specialty.

That leaves the rest of the readers of Tennis Frontier...

Where are you going this year to watch some LIVE Tennis?"

*bump* Kiu was going to post this earlier, but we had things to discuss with our correspondent. So do tell us what you're planning to attend, live. Kiu, it might be fun to post this on the ATP forum, as well. Luxilon Borg is at the Davis Cup in San Diego.

I copied the thread into the ATP Forum.

I'd love to go to Miami. But same for me…it's a flight. Though, I do have a place to stay. If work doesn't irritatingly intrude, I'll be at the USO, at least a day or two. I love the first week, when you get to see everyone.

^ Now that Sloane Stephens has parted with coach Paul Annacone,report I just read from SI.Com,Sloane will be working with a 'unnamed coach on a trial basis during Citi Open in Washington D.C. maybe you can find out who is this 'unnamed coach' and report back.

Thanks.

I will look into that for sure, I can actually ask her if I attend one of her post match press interviews.

^ I just read a article from Courtney Nguyen SI.Com....reporting that Tomas Hogstedt is the new coach on a trial basis with Sloane Stephens.If you do get to attend one of her post match interviews maybe you can get further details regarding this new trial partnership.

Thanks
