Artist’s Views On Tennis: LeRoy Neiman

By Scoop Malinowski
Artist LeRoy Neiman has traveled the globe to paint, sketch and draw. His creations have showcased nature, humanity or any subject that arrest his attention, including sport and tennis.
"Tennis is pure," says the artist in his studio on a sunny summer day, less than a block from Central Park in New York City. "The players come out quietly. They warm up. They have the player introductions which is very dignified. And then they start to play. There is no big to-do before it starts. That's a tradition and they're holding to it. I like the fact that Sampras wore all white all the time. I like to see my fencers in white, my doctors in white and my tennis players in white [laughs]. In other sports, they've made it so you have other experiences at the event. I think it's gone too far. Tennis is still pure. I don't think tennis needs any improvement or showbiz."

Biofile with Handball Champ John “Rookie” Wright
6 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Scoop
Status: Former #1 handball champion.
Early Handball Memory: "Was playing in Thompson Square Park with kids at junior high school. I remember just hitting the ball around and having fun playing with the girls (age 14)."
Handball Heroes/Inspirations: "Mostly all the top players when I watched them play - they inspired me to want to be a top player - Angel Marquez, Buddy Gant, Joe Durso, legends in the game, Albert Apuzzi, Al Torres."
Nicknames: "I have two - Rookie - which is ironic because I was Rookie of the Year. And my second is The Machine. Because I'm very consistent, I don't miss and I'm great under pressure. It's almost like playing against a machine, someone was saying when they were playing against me." Continue to read full article...
