Brian Vahaly , once named to People Magazine's most eligible bachelor list, has lived an incredible life in tennis.
As a child he was afraid to swim after seeing JAWS, and began tennis as an infant .  As a junior tennis player, he was one of the best players in the United States but was not identified as a top prospect by the USTA.   After a standout career at the University of Virginia, he initially struggled on the ATP Tour.  Coming up with players such as Robby Ginepri and Andy Roddick, Brian told us his story of perseverance.
On this episode BRIAN VAHALY  tells us how, early in his career he was close to stopping playing and then went on a tear, breaking into the top hundred. He breaks down some of his obligations as a board member of the USTA.  She describes how tennis took hold in Scotland and where it needs to go from here. And she tells us what you must do when you have one kid who finals the Orange Bowl and another one who wins it.
