from NYC and Nicole from NYC played 2 hours of DOUBLES in
Central Park Tennis Center, last Tuesday, April 19, 2005.
Before the doubles match, David Conklin did an hour of
tennis evaluation, hitting and few games with Koko Lani, the
TennisNYC.com tennis League Director. "I haven't played
tennis since 1997. I played on and off after that but not on a
consistent basis. Since I moved to NYC, got married and worked
full time in Wall St, I just didn't have much time. And then
the 9/11 happened. I went to Iraq two times. While I was
deployed in Iraq, I saw the movie WIMBLEDON and that inspired me to
play tennis again," David said. David has a very consistent
game. Despite not having played for a long time, he still has
not forgotten his tennis fundamentals. He said, "I hit against
the backboard inside my apartment" WELCOME TO THE
TENNISNYC.COM TENNIS LEAGUE, DAVID!
(Photo above L-R) Chris, Jean Telfort and Russo played
tennis in Central Park Tennis Center last Monday, April 18,
2005. Jean Telfort did 2 hours of game evaluation, hitting and
singles match with Koko Lani, the TennisNYC.com tennis League
Director. After 2 hours of hitting and singles match, Jean
paired with Koko Lani and challenged the MOST POPULAR tennis
partners in Central Park, the "crazy ROMANIANS" Russo and
Chris for 2 hours of DOUBLES. "I am just enjoying my life
now," Jean Telfort said. "I went to hell for 12 years
while I was in the military. I just came back from Afghanistan,
Saudi Arabia, Kosovo and Bosnia. I am so happy that I am alive with
2 legs and 2 arms and my mind is still healthy. I have been
attending funerals the last few weeks. After 12 years, I resigned
from the military and said Goodbye," Jean reveals. When I asked
Jean how he survived the war, he said, "I just prayed and think
of happy thoughts." WELCOME TO THE TENNIS LEAGUE JEAN! I HOPE
TENNIS WILL BRING YOU MORE HAPPY MOMENTS!!!
