With positivity comes success. These are the words Nancy Leiviska and her son Stefan Kendal Gordy, also publicly known as Redfoo, live by. ?Work at being positive, who cares about success? Success will follow,? Leiviska said.

In June Redfoo decided to chase after his dream to hopefully one day play in the US Open where he was given the opportunity to play the US Open sectional qualifying tournament. This dream came to an end at the hands of Fresno City College’s Scott Gray with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Gordy. Although he was not victorious, the loss did not stop Gordy from continuing to train every day for four hours, as he does with coach Adam Kennedy, and pursue his passion, which is the message he hopes to send out to the rest of the world.

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) ? Fresh from a conference tournament title and NCAA first-round win, UNLV women’s tennis head coach Kevin Cory has been named the Mountain Region Head Coach of the Year, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced Wednesday.

Cory, who is in his 14th year at the school, earned his third such honor after also winning it 2002 and 2011. He is also a two-time MW Coach of the Year honoree (2000 and 2002).

A native of California and former player at the University of Oregon, Cory is the winningest coach in Mountain West history with a record of 79-19 in the regular season and 26-10 in the postseason tournament. That last record includes a 3-0 mark at last month’s MW Tournament held in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he brought back his seventh career conference trophy (four tournament and three regular season).
After upsetting top-seeded San Diego State in the MW final, UNLV advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the third time ever with an upset of No. 27 Tulsa last weekend that got the squad to the 20-win mark (20-8) for the fourth time in the last five years.

The Lady Rebels also produced the MW Player of the Year in the form of Aleksandra Josifoska and will be sending two players to next week’s NCAA Singles Tournament for the first time in program history (Josifoska and Lucia Batta).

Cory will now be considered for the national ITA award along with the winners from the other seven regions.


   
Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan continued their record setting season on Sunday by capturing their 88th team title, their 6th doubles championship of 2013, and their 24th ATP Masters 1000 crown.

The top-seeded American twins defeated sixth-seeded Indians Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna 6-2, 6-3 to lift their third title at the Italian Open at Rome. The final lasted just 51 minutes.

"We knew we needed to play very well to win this match and I thought we put in a very strong performance," said Mike Bryan. "We're obviously very pleased with the way the last couple weeks have gone and are hoping to carry this momentum into Paris."

The Bryans received $200,000 in prize money and earned 1,000 ATP Rankings points.

"It's great to see Hesh and Bops playing together again, especially after their strong finish last season," said Bob Bryan. "They're great for doubles and we know we'll be playing the Indian Express again in big matches this year."

The Bryans lost a scant four service points in the 24-minute opening set, when they converted two of their four break point opportunities. They lost just five points on serve in the second set, breaking in the eighth game, to improve to a 34-6 record on the season. (Excerpted from the ATPWorldTour)
