Hi there,
He's not an economist by trade, but my father says, "By the time they announce that we're in a recession, we've already been in it for a while."
It may be true.
Not great, considering that 2007 was 6.8 percent, and 2006 was 5.8 percent.
Not bad, either, consider the Gross Domestic Product sales were reported at 2.2 percent.
The good news is that tennis has both the GDP and the sporting goods category beat with a 6.5 percent increase--not that it's a race, but it shows all the TV coverage, marketing efforts and grassroots work is still paying off, even if consumer confidence and the economic machine are down.
If you're a tennis insider: Keep on keeping on!

From TheBuzz.HelloTennis!com
Tracy Austin and Lindsay Davenport picked up endorsement deals with Juvederm, a skincare treatment that fills in wrinkles, for its "Decades of Smooth" campaign that ties into 2008 tournament sponsorships by parent company Allergan. The tennis-cosmetic connection could further open the field for relationships between the sport's stars and cosmetics and healthcare products. Picture Maria Sharapova or Ana Ivanovic as the next Cover Girl; though chances are they wouldn't take the pathway set out by America's Next Top Model.
Serena and Venus Williams have been there.

He just could be. Patrick McEnroe's latest mantle of General Manager of USTA Elite Player Development isn't displacing any of his other jobs. The Davis Cup captain will continue to lead his team against Spain in September, while also running TV commentator duty during the big tournaments this summer and performing presidential functions with the USTA Tennis & Education Foundation (see story below). He's also a father and an all-around nice guy who retired from playing the pro tour only 10 years ago.

| Five Questions with...Karen Eliezer |
|
| Executive Director, USTA Tennis & Education Foundation
Q. In the last year you have awarded $1 million in programs grants and $400,000 to schools. How is this money being used?
A. The programs we fund do more than promote tennis. We encourage life skills and how to be a productive member of society. That could mean providing homework tutors, access to computers...
