He still loves Pokeman and Yugioh cards and playing video games. His game has really been coming around, and is playing some USPTA tournaments in the boys 10's. He has taken 3rd place, and 2nd place in his last two tournaments. Tristan is now 8 years old, and started playing USTA tournaments in Jan. in the Boys 10's. He has had moderate success, and is currently ranked 245 in Florida. Its now July, and I will be taking him out of tournaments for a while to continue to work on his game. We may wait until he is 9 to enter him again. My Goals To continue to learn the game to the best of my ability, and to get ranked in the country. My Highlights Just getting into competitive play now at a USTPA (non-USTA)tournamnet style. This is 8 game pro sets, no ad scoring. First to 8 winning by 2. I got to hit with Todd Martin for about 15 minutes at the USTA block party in Plantation, Fl. Playing in the "Little Mo" tournament in Boca Raton, Fl. I got a trophy as a consolation finalist.   More Photos... View Large My Diary Entries   USTA Tournament July 8th, 2006 - Drop Shot Junior Classic.
