Success at Wimble don "It will have a definite impact just on the way the United States ^Tennis Association wOrks," he said. "They are leery qf college tennis players, especially those that make good grades, because they want players to be single-minded toward tennis. Bryan's success will have an impact because he is one of the few, if not the only college graduate on the professional team. But it won't change things because the USTA has a certain mindset. It may make them less leery of dealing with college players." -/ Huff thinks if the USTA really wanted to encourage blacks to play tennis, it would modify its approach and programs geared to attracting minorities to the game. 'The USTA takes more of a shotgun approach! It ties to get everyone instead of helping those near the top," said Huff, who thinks that tennis' expense and travel is an obstacle for some people. "If they worked with the kids" that are' already involved and successful they would get some results that other kids could look to for incentive. I think by cultivating the top players, the USTA would have some results to show to attract other players." Robin Barksdale Ervin, a for mer tennis player at Marquette Uni versity and now associate director of public affairs at Winston-Salem State University, thinks it is impor models such as Garrison-Jackson, McNeil and Shelton, but notes the three are more than overnight suc cesses. ' 9 - "Those three have been sue-, cessful for years; being oh the cir cuit implies that," she said. "I'm delighted with the attention they are getting, but the frenzy over one win does their careers an injustice. It not like they just started playing tennis. They have been around for years. "It think it is always good for young people to have role models," "Ervin continued, "and the successr from Page 15 the three players at Wimbledon have had should gfve an initial exposure to tennis, but a more grass-roots approach is needed. It is incumbent on the USl* A to provide opportunities, but there are opportu nities coffered in the city that are accessible to young people also." I^eon Kay, a tei\nis coach at WSSU agrees. "If you know those players, none of this Should come as a surprise," he said. "Lori and Zina are the top five as far as speed is concerned, and the majority of the players hate to play them. They are two of the most dangerous females in the sport." Kay said professional tennis, however, remains patronizing to blacks players. "The only time you see a black player is when they play a top white player," he said. "Zina has been in the top 10 for years, but if she had not'been playing a top-name playqr ? and beating her ? we would not liaverseen her." ? . ? ' ? ? ' . . ? .v J..- ( ' . V.'.' ' "u ' " " ?/?
