What a great card

Believe it or not I was given this quality business card – it made me giggle.  Maybe not one for the girls.

Quality Business Cards

23 06 2008

Again a slightly off topic post, but I have been finding a couple of things very strange recently – whilst I have been travelling around playing tennis, I keep bumping into the same old people.  What has surprised me so much is the number of business cards that I have been given.  I cannot knock the business cards in any way as they have all been quality business cards with some great printing detail.  However I just dont understand why have been given these business cards whilst playing in a tennis tournament!  In terms of business card printing its most likely great for the printing industry, however do I need matt laminated business cards – I think not, I want to play tennis, talk tennis and drink beer.  Do I want to be constantly reminded of the opponents that I have either beaten of lost too – not really!!!!

End rant.





Flyers

23 06 2008

Aren’t flyers great!  I’ve recently being playing in some tennis tournaments and have been given a number of flyers which I thought were fantastic.  The quality of flyer printing was outstanding, and the use of eye catching graphics was great.  This is not normally the type of thing that grabs my attention when I supposed to be concentrating on the tennis tournament, but hey the cheap flyers caught my attention.  Needless to say the tournament was not a success for me, could this have been because I was spending to much time concentrating on flyers.  One thing to remind me of my lapse in concentration was the compliment slips which I was given to take away.  This will always remind me that the printing industry can serve as a great and yet surprising distraction whilst playing in a tennis tournament in Scotland.

30 03 2008

Whilst browsing for the best ever tennis point ever I came across http://www.grosvenorltc.co.uk/besttennis.html which has a couple of vidoes showing the best ever points in tennis.  Including top players such as Sampras, Aggasi and Blake.  Well worth check out for those tennis fans who remember the likes of Pete Sampras and Andre Aggasi.

A big thanks to http://www.grosvenorltc.co.uk For the top quality video content





Djokovic Loses To Qualifier

29 03 2008

After winning the Aussie open Djokivic has lost to a qualifier in a Sony Erricsson open.  Top players losing to relatively unknown players is becoming a bit of a trend this year and could make for some interesting results.  Already this year both Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Nadal have lost matches they should have easily won.

How will the top players perform for the rest of the year who knows, but will any player other than Federer, Nadal or Djokovic win a Grand Slam? Probably not, the only player that could push them is going to be Andy Murray.

If anyone feels different to this or just wants to give their opinion comment away.





Grosvenor Lawn Tennis Club

29 03 2008

I came across the Grosvenor Lawn Tennis Club and from the looks of this tennis club has a really good mix of social and match play. They seem to be one of the friendliest clubs in their local area with lots of social events taking place throughout the year. Anyway to get to the point this I think this club is well worth checking out for anyone in the London or Essex area who likes a good game of tennis. For those of you who are not quite up to match play standard the club has a full time tennis coach !
