Jim has a renowned record in the sports industry spanning over 40 years. He is credited with turning Wilson into the dominant manufacturer in the tennis industry, was just inducted in the Tennis Industry Hall of Fame, and also served as the President of the Tennis Industry Association (TIA).

Of this 13 million there are over 4 million people who said they hadn’t played specifically because they have not got a partner.
