Sydney Jim has been playing in Futures tennis tournaments in places like Guatemala. He played in the qualifying round of the Valley Baptist Health System Harlingen Country Club $15,000 Futures tennis tournament in Harlingen, Texas.
Jim posts his results and exploits on the internet and gives an insight of what the players endure on the tour. He lives in Houston and bemoans the fact that it is difficult to find a partner to practice with because the players have to work all day as instructors to tennis hackers. Even on the rare chance he finds someone available to practice with, he finds that the player is tired from working all day as an instructor.
Jim described his training routine: "I usually do three miles in the morning, then I have a hitting session with Bryan (Wooten). This is usually consisted of the basic crosscourts, volleys, off the ground points, serves, service points, etc...Then I do my weight training, I used to do the old boxing training circuit training, but I gained too much weight from that so I do more core work and freeweights now on the fitness ball.
"As for fitness I do a lot of jump rope and sprints occassionally. I'm pretty stupid fast as it is so I find it stupid to tear up my legs doing countless sprints a day, instead I focus more on reaction and fast twitch excercises."
