Ten years ago Stephen Sayoc snapped his Achilles heel and had to have major surgery. Doctors were not sure if he would make a complete recovery due to the severity of the injury. Fortunately, he made a remarkable recovery and is presently the top-ranked Beach Tennis Player in the United States and is ranked 46th in the world by the International Tennis Federation. Sayoc, who is the director of tennis at South Towns Tennis Center and one of the area's top ranked tennis players, will be 42 years old next week. He is in phenomenal shape and will be playing in the International Beach Tennis Championships this week on Long Island. The tournament is the most prestigious and largest of its kind in the United States, with players from all over the world competing.

Lleyton Hewitt criticized the International Tennis Federation on Sunday, saying it was a "disgrace" the way the sports body reacted to Australia's decision to skip a Davis Cup series last month in India for security reasons. The Australians were fined $10,000 and lost the hosting rights of their next home match. But they weren't suspended for refusing to travel to India for the May 8-10 zonal series. It's all a circus. The whole thing is a circus," Hewitt said after beating Ivo Karlovic in five sets in the first round of the French Open. "The way the ITF went about it was a disgrace in the first place.
Associated Press French tennis player Richard Gasquet was suspended Monday following a positive cocaine test and will miss the French Open. The International Tennis Federation expects to have a panel in place within 60 days for a hearing. Gasquet could face a two-year ban if found guilty.
