09/21/07 - TENNIS.COM, the world’s leading tennis news website has added a new column called “Viewpoint” in which TENNIS Magazine/TENNIS.COM Editor-in-Chief James Martin and new Senior Editor Tom Perrotta offer their own personal take on the tennis news of the day. The column debuted on Sept. 19 with Martin challenging Roger Federer to care more about the Davis Cup.

“Although the plan is for us to alternate the column each week, we expect the frequency to increase,” said Martin. “I also expect some of our other writers and editors to get into the mix, too, as we evolve the column. We suggest tennis fans bookmark the site and check it out regularly, and email us with any suggestions or ideas.”

In his inaugural Viewpoint column, Martin explains that although Federer has played 41 Davis Cup matches in his career he has not made the sport’s premier team competition a priority over the last few years, a decision which could taint his otherwise pristine legacy.

The timing of the new online column coincides with Perrotta joining TENNIS Magazine full-time as Senior Editor. Perrotta has written about tennis since 2003 for TENNIS as well as the New York Sun, where he is a regular columnist. He has also contributed to the Atlantic Monthly and National Public Radio. The former staff reporter at the New York Law Journal is not the author of several best selling novels written by the other Tom Perrotta, though he receives much fan mail for him.
