| Le brigand semi-retraité compte ouvrir une académie de tennis en Floride. Tennis pro Guillermo Canas plans to open academy on Key Biscayne
Guillermo Canas, a three-time French Open quarterfinalist from Argentina, recently bought a condominium on Brickell Avenue, the latest in a growing list of tennis pros who make South Florida a home base. But Canas would like a more lasting connection to the area. He has plans for a year-round tennis academy on Key Biscayne. Along with partners Gustavo Oribe, a former FIU player, and former tour pro Martin Garcia, Canas has submitted plans to the Miami-Dade County Commission for an academy that would service everyone from a 6-year-old in a beginner's class to a tour pro seeking top-notch competition. South Florida weather is perfect for tennis. The Tennis Center of Crandon Park is largely vacant for much of the year now that the U.S. Tennis Association moved out. And pros such as Andy Murray, Gael Monfils and NicolasLapenti have homes here. ''This seems like the perfect place for a tennis academy, and there really isn't anything like it down here,'' Canas said. ``We want it to have a warm, family-like atmosphere, where everyone who loves tennis can feel welcome. We'd have beginners programs, senior programs, programs for college players, and for pros.'' Canas said he has been in contact with potential coaches, trainers, nutritionists and sports psychologists. ''I thought about doing this in Argentina, but Miami seems more logical,'' said Canas, 31, who added he might retire after this season and then dedicate himself to the academy. ``I have always dreamed of owning a place like this, and hopefully, we can make it happen.''http://www.miamiherald.com |
