Hi there,
If you don't already have a ticket for the sold-out NetJets Showdown between Roger Federer and Pete Sampras at Madison Square Garden next Monday night, don't worry--you've got options. For the Newport-bound, the International Tennis Hall of Fame is hosting a live simulcast ( click for tix). For the homebound, Tennis Channel is broadcasting the exhibition, and has put together a side-by-side comparison of the champs ( click here).
MSG used to be the home to the women's season-ending championships. It's been quite a while since tennis took the stage there. This event is a great platform to promote the sport to fans. Turning those fans into players calls upon another great platform to promote the sport: the health benefits. Details are below the Latest Headlines.

| Play tennis, stay healthy |
|
The sport always has been positioned as a means to improve health, but never before has the message run so deep or broad as it is now. Consider these efforts:
- USPTA is promoting the health benefits of tennis in its new campaign,"Tennis--for the health of it!" Exercise physiologist and USPTA Master Pro Jack Groppel, PhD, is the chief evangelist. Even a couple of his "34 Reasons to Play Tennis" should be enough to convince anyone to trade the treadmill for the baseline.
