  ***************************  

    
     The free DePalmer Family (below left) tennis clinic was held on Saturday, April 27, 2004, with over 85 players attending.  Over 40 Junior Tennis players were in attendance  (below right). 

      Chris Woodruff (below left)  a former Vol who once achieved a No.29 singles ranking on the ATP Tour, made a special guest appearance and conducted an exhibition with Rhyne Williams (below right), son of  Michelle DePalmer Williams and ranked No. 3 in the nation in boys' 12 and under. 
 
        

     The clinic is being sponsored by Prince.  Demo rackets and T-shirts will be given away.  Famed tennis teaching pro Nick Bollettierri is donating one free week at the IMG Academy (formerly Bollettierri's Academy)  in Bradenton, Fla. -- a value of at least $1,000.    Green Meadows has four hard courts and two clay courts within eyesight of the Smokey Mountains.  In 1999, the club spent $1.5 million to renovate the tennis courts and swimming pool.

     "It's very scenic and a nice family atmosphere,"  said DePalmer Jr., who has taught not only Becker and Woodruff but Justin Gimelstob, Mark Philippoussis and Anna Kournikova.    

    

     Hunter Beal was the winner of the week at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla, compliments of teaching tennis pro Nick Bollettierri.  Nick Wood was the winner of a week tennis clinic at the University of Tennessee this summer.
