Top Ranked Fred Robinson to Play National Indoors in Boise
Boise--The USTA Men's 55 National Indoor Tournament gets underway at the Boise Racquet and Swim Club February 15 - 20. The tournament is an ITF sanctioned grade 1 tournament and brings in elite players from throughout the country.
Fred Robinson of North Carolina, the nation's number 1 ranked player has committed to play in the National Indoors, how good is he? Two weeks ago in Naples, Florida Robinson beat former ATP touring pro and legend Roscoe Tanner 6-2, 6-1 on clay. The next day he beat the number 4 seed, Joaquim Rasgado 6-0, 6-1 for the National Clay Court title not to mention the doubles crown as well.
In his Web site, http://www.quantumawareness.com/, Fred affirms that "within each of us lies the ability for greatness. The capacity within which this greatness lies only needs to be important to you, it need not make sense to anyone else. However, to discover the seeds within that await nurturing and fertilization, one must harness their ability to be still and observe the inner voice that guides us."
Fred is a steady, focused player who engages fully during a match. "I just think about this stroke, right now, hitting this perfect forehand." Being in the NOW is extremely important to him, which allows him to beat his opponents under pressure. "I know that I will win the next point. I just know it." He considers the opponent has little influence on his precise execution of his strategy, which relies more on placement than power and speed. Here are some of the outstanding results that his approach has yielded over the years:
