Dear SITA Members,
The weather is finally starting to turn, which means less money spent renting courts and more time working on your tan in the sunshine! Plus, the next two Grand Slams are only a month away, so you can celebrate the start of the summer season by watching the best in the world compete on TV.

SITA would love to hear from you, dear readers. We would like to know about your tennis experiences in Victoria, and from around the world. Have you found any problems on courts in Victoria recently? Tell us about it. What about playing on a new or unique surface somewhere else in the world? What country were you in, and what was the tennis facility called? Where would you recommend people go to play if they happened to be in another country you just visited? Please tell us al about your experiences, and we'll publish some in every newsletter from this point forward!
Canada's own Milos Raonic took on Roger Federer at Indian Wells last week, and although he didn't win, he certainly showed that he could play with the best in the world.
