Tennis With Tracy Austin At La Quinta Resort

I competed as a tennis member at La Quinta Resort for a chance to play with tennis great and U.S. Open Champion Tracy Austin. I advanced to the finals and won my match with my friend Mary to be able to play with Tracy after her annual tennis clinic at the resort.

Tracy and I teamed up against Tom Gorman, La Quinta Resort’s Director of Tennis and my co-winner Mary. Tom was a Davis cup player and captain for eight years, and to this day Tom is the most successful player/coach in Davis cup history. Tom was also ranked #8 in the world in his professional playing days.
