The time has come once again for my annual traverse back to Victoria. Last year was the first unofficial holiday ground strokes tourney and its success has inspired me to think about how we could improve the event this year. I have decided to begin a blog to provide wide ranging coverage, discussion and fodder on all matters related to tennis. I hope that we will retain the usual suspects despite their ill-advised attempts at retirement. Also, I would like to see some additional players added to the draw and I hope the blog will serve to ease them into the heady scene that is the Hollywood Invitational. I don't have to tell any of you or Donny Woodland at Centre Court that this is a high strung bunch, I maintain that Dave Rainey is to blame for this. This blog can be used as a forum to discuss the format of the tourney (Jamboree, Round Robin, Double Knockout, Cutthroat, Norwegian Rules etc). I will be welcoming contributions from anyone interested in providing their perspective or analysis on all things Tennis.
