Dear PTR,
I want to thank Jim Loehr for the beautiful messages and for working
with me during my pro career. Hope this gets to him. My deepest
gratitude for being an amazing psychologist to me and making the
changes I needed that not only helped me on the tennis court but
through out my life. All the best.

Dear PTR,
Thank you for the messages from Dr. Loehr. I haven't had the pleasure
of meeting him, but I'm very impressed by his emotional intelligence,
and ability to share insights on such current matters that are affecting
us all right now. His delivery of such strong positive messages we all
need to hear in the tennis world and beyond. Many thanks and very
uplifting. Cheers.

Dear PTR,
Hi everyone in the PTR family. I want to thank you, not only for the
birthday wishes, but for all that you are doing during this difficult time.
PTR is with me everyday, as I am doing at least one continuing edu-
cation course a day and filling in your surveys. I want to mention PTR
member Jorge Capestany for his generosity allowing access to his
website for three weeks. Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

Dear PTR,
I completed the Safe Play and some continuing education which I
found very educational and interesting. We have been closed for
the 3
rd
time by the city. But this time we have students/parents re-
serving courts in their HOA neighborhoods and I always operate very
safely. We had 80 students/week, tons of new students for July after
seeing how I put SAFETY first always (Dennis always taught us that).
The continuing education will help me a lot. It's a great gift you are
giving to all of us as support.
Best regards,

HEAD is expanding the EXTREME racquet series in 2020,
with a new model added to the dynamic range of spin
racquets with the innovative Graphene 360+ technology.

Endorsed by Matteo Berrettini, semi-finalist at the 2019
US Open, EXTREME racquets allow players to generate
a devastating combination of spin and power. The up-
dated range includes the new EXTREME TOUR, which
is designed for advanced tournament players. With five
racquets in the expanded series -TOUR, MP, S, LITE and
PWR - players of various abilities can now take spin to
the EXTREME.

For a perfect blend of control and spin, HEAD created
the new LYNX TOUR string. This co-polyester has a
unique six-edge design, ideal for a range of players,
from the harder-hitting intermediate to the advanced
tournament player.

As with all HEAD products, current PTR members receive
exceptional Pro Pricing.
