She plays with all levels of tennis players and has shown respect to every member of the league regardless of their level! Congratulations Iwaya!

MOST IMPROVED TENNIS PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2007 - WINNER - Bryan Dorsey 

Just like Iwaya, Bryan has been a member of the league for several years now. I still remember the first night when Bryan came for his evaluation. He was uncertain about his backhand and was spraying balls all over the court. Today, Bryan is an excellent tennis athlete with strong forehand, strong serve and reliable 2 handed backhand. Congratulations, Bryan! BRYAN WILL GET A FREE VACATION IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA and will play lots of tennis at the FLORIDA TENNIS CENTER!!!

MOST DEDICATED AND CONSISTENT TENNIS PLAYER AWARD 2007 - WINNER - Maggie Wang
