gained in importance for now.

The coaches:
Dimitri Penchev, left, and new Tennis Canada coach Oded
Jacob. Oded, who hails from Israel, was recently chosen to run
Tennis Canada' s third National Training Program following centres in
Ontario and Quebec out of
North Shore
Winter Club. Can Oded
fill the gap and help our top juniors now that Luke O'Loughlin
has left Tennis BC out of frustration and, in doing so, left BC without
a director of high
performance? We hope so.
