Would you like to have a former U.S. Olympic coach and Davis Cup captain give you a few tennis tips? How about having a few cocktails with a two-time Australian Open champion? Would you enjoy a weekend in Las Vegas? Does catching a show and cruising the Strip sound appealing? If you answered "yes" to any of the above start making plans to participate in the Las Vegas Tennis Fantasy at the Las Vegas Hilton May 12-14, 2006 with pros Tom Gullikson and Johan Kriek.
Gullikson has not only worked with Jennifer Capriati and Pete Sampras, he also captained the U.S. Davis Cup team to their 1992 championship and served as the 1996 U.S. Olympic team coach in Atlanta where Andre Agassi won the gold medal. A former pro player, Gullikson reached a career high rank of No. 38 in singles but is better known for his doubles play with twin brother, Tim. Together they reached the Wimbledon doubles final in 1983 and won 15 career doubles titles before Tim passed away in 1996. A frequent contributor to Tennis Magazine, Tom is also tireless in his pursuit of raising awareness and funds for The Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation on behalf of programs for the care and support of brain tumor patients and their families.
Kriek utilized his superior foot speed to become a two-time Australian Open champion (1981-82) and earn 14 singles and eight doubles titles. He reached a career-high rank of No. 7 as a pro but is still bringing home the trophies in Grand Slam play. Along with South African partner Kevin Curren, Kriek holds the 2005 Wimbledon and U.S. Open Men's 45s doubles titles.
Enjoy some friendly instruction at the Las Vegas Hilton's one-of-a-kind rooftop courts and get ready to play tennis with a couple of great guys this May. And remember, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". |
