When the Alarms go off, you pay attention!

By Javier Palenque

About a month ago I was in Edinburgh, Scotland and at midnight the fire alarms went off, we had to get out of the hotel as soon as possible and be outside until they figured out what the problem was. I left my room and took my iPad with me in case I wanted to write something and sitting in the cold in my funny pajamas I wrote about the beloved USTA. Earlier today I got an email from the current Chairman who told me under strong terms that I can dream on on having data from the nonprofit and said that the time of the board is so precious that they could not accommodate me with my annoying requests to enlighten them on how to grow the sport that they mishandle. Of course all in lawyer language that only showcases the lack of understanding of what tennis is. Judge for yourself below:

I am also attaching the letter I received a few years from the then Chairman Katrina Adams so you can see a pattern from the board heads.
