Very interesting. I stumbled upon it while looking for info on the Lukoil open. My brother and I are planning to play doubles in the tournament this year. Like you, we are up in age (43 and 38) but have played tennis since we were young. My brother was an exceptional D3 player at Claremont in CA (won the D3 National doubles title his junior year) and I played a more "modest" game at Susquehanna University in the 1980s where we had a competitive team for the area. I've recently come back into tennis and have again found my passion for the game. I play in an early morning mens group 3 or 4 times a week with players who are probably 3.5 - 4.5 level. I actually look forward to getting up at 5am, driving 30 minutes to play for an hour or so. Was glad to see there are others, like me, who play these tournaments. I don't really have visions of standing on the podium accepting my $500 check but it would be fun to win a round or two.... Guess it's all about who you hit in round 1. Anyway, thanks again for writing and maybe we'll see you at this year's "Open". Best Regards, David Cooley - Northern NJ Joe: Thanks for doing the TopSpin Blog. Very interesting.

As a Chicagoan, I don't know how Chicago does not make a push for this as part of their attempt to land the Olympics. The new Sears Center in the suburbs would be a good fit for this, although not a huge place it would get filled.
