Albert’s tennis life for the past 40+ years—playing, stringing, teaching, and retailing—has positively impacted every aspect of his tennis business.
Playing
Hooked on tennis, Albert started playing at age 14. He still enjoys competing and most
recently played in the 2019 USTA 4.5 18+ National Championships. On and off the court, Albert appreciates the friendships he’s developed along the way.
Stringing
Stringing is a form of therapy for Albert. He was first hired as a stringer in 1977 and has been behind the stringing machine ever since. He treats each racquet he strings with respect, philosophizing that a part of him accompanies the player onto the court through that racquet.
