WELCOME TO Katie Mac's 10S.NE.1

Welcome to the FIRST EDITION of 10S.NE.1.  Your home for tennis fitness, health, fashion and lifestyle.  Let's face it, those of us who play as amateurs and for recreation know we're not going to drop to our knees on the Wimbledon grass as we cry victory in the final.  We're here to have fun.  The great thing about tennis is that you can play it at any age, at any speed, and you don't need a lot of fancy equipment or a membership to do it. But tennis, for one reason or another has lost some of its "cool factor."  It used to be you could go down to the public courts, hang around and find someone who wanted to have a hit.  Sure, everything is more complicated these days.  But tennis somehow took a turn, it became expensive and exclusive and highly competitive.  Well, our mission here is to bring it back to old school and reinstate some "cool" points.  We're going to do that by making this the first virtual public tennis center.  We'll have lots of cool features coming out, including a way for you to take a virtual lesson.  But in the meantime, I want to hear from you.  What do you think would make tennis cool again?

Some of you may know me from my TV show on The Tennis Channel. 

In CHANGEOVER we talked about unique ways to get fit, some healthy snack alternatives, great fashion tips that look good both on and off court, and how tennis helps one celebrity stay in shape!  You can check out more at WWW.THETENNISCHANNEL.COM for info and airtimes.

I will be reviewing the best new equipment, and giving you all the latest tennis hacks for tweaking your old racquet so it is just like the pros.  Watch for great new recipes and excellent workouts.  We will check in to tennis style with fun new fashions and trends.  Most importantly, we'll be a community!  That's what tennis is all about...connecting with others.  I will look forward to hearing from you, so get excited and get ready as we make tennis cool again and bring the game back to the people.


To start with, I want to remind people of an era.  The 70s.  Borg.  This is why tennis was cool.
