  • Howdy, friend. You have a nice, firm handshake. That tells me I can trust you. My name's Courtney but the folks 'round these parts call me "C Note".

    This is my personal blog. I write about tennis for other far more reputable and civilized outfits. You can find them here.

    "Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account."

    Tignor with a rundown of the top ballers' New Year's Resolutions.

    My fave:

    Ana Ivanovic: Where's that old T-shirt of mine, the one that read, "No time for love"? I might need to remember that in 2009.

    Fernando Verdasco: I will burn that shirt.

    Here are my 2009 Tennis Resolutions:

    1. Cut JJ some slack
    2. Not to let Ana's inexplicable losses ruin my week
    3. Hook up my Slingbox so I can watch tennis at work
    4. Understand that I don't HAVE to wake up at odd hours to watch meaningless tennis matches live
    5. Master my slice backhand
    6. Quit getting infuriated by Nole
    7. Give Roger a chance to win me over
    8. Read "A Champion's Mind"
    9. Take regular tennis lessons
    10. Start podcasting

    Pretty sure none of that's going to happen.  One out of ten would be a major accomplishment.

    How about you guys?
