Wilson Hosts First-Ever Racket Stringing Championship
Let's give a big congratulations to Scott Schneider of Las Vegas, who won the first ever world stringing championship with a time of 11:14. Pretty fast, but I think my brother Mike, had he known about it, might have been able to come close to that.
The event was shown live on the Tennis Channel. Scott is a local pro, and beat out the likes of French Open doubles champion and tennis analyst Luke Jensen and Thomas Blake (James' bro). His prize package included $1,000 cash, large screen Panasonic plasma television, Fender guitar, Wilson tennis equipment, one-year supply of Wilson string and the chance to qualify to string with Wilson at the 2006 US Open. Schneider, and all the contestants, strung Wilson’s nSix-One 95 racket with Wilson Reaction string. Not just that, but he got to hang out with the UNLV Rebel Cheerleaders. Not bad.
