ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are a number of people I would like to recognize for their as- sistance and support of this project. First and foremost, I thank my wife and children for providing me with the insight and perspective necessary to write this book. Although Von Beebe did a terrific job in editing this book and taking virtually all of the photographs, his most valuable contribution was his encouragement throughout the tedious and time-consuming revisions, for which I thank him. I acknowledge and thank Gerry McGuffin of the U.S.T.A. s Education and Research Office in Princeton, New Jersey for her invaluable suggestions and assistance. Chuck Levitt of the Little Professor Bookstore in Omaha, Nebraska provided me with advice and counsel, for which I am grateful. I also wish to thank my typist, Teresa Fernandez, as well as the many friends who reviewed the various drafts for me. I am most grateful, also, to Jimmy and Colette Evert for their contribution to this book. I have no doubt but that their support of this book gives it added credibility to readers. As a token of my ap- preciation, a portion of any moneys I realize from the sale of this book will be donated to the Evert Family College Scholarship Fund, which is administered by the Youth Tennis Foundation of Florida and which rewards deserving high school seniors for good sportsmanship. Finally, I thank Robert Hostage, the publisher, for his confi- dence in my book and his willingness to publish it. I also thank Hil- ary Swinson, Senior Editor, for her contributions to and support of the book as well.
