Letter to the readers: Down the Line! celebrates its first birthday today

Hey y'all,

Today is Down the Line!'s first birthday. I can't believe it's been a whole year since I started writing this blog. Check out the very first post here...

It's been a blast not only writing about the sport we're all obsessed with but to read the great comments left by readers around the world. Whether you agree, disagree, question, or tell me to fuck off (yes that's happened too...fun!), the reader comments keep me motivated and entertained.

So thanks to all of you for reading and I look forward to continuing to bring a raw + uncut look into the world that we all love: tennis!

Rich

P.S. - I'm always looking for contributors with a unique voice for previews, wrap-ups, and on-the-ground reporting from the Grand Slams so if you're interested in writing/blogging (and come with thick skin) hit me up with your best stuff at tips@downthelinetennis.com.
