From the Editor...

Welcome to the first on-line issue of DEUCE Magazine. Many readers may be familiar with the ATP's Official Magazine, which was first published in 2002, but until now it appeared only in print form and was distributed primarily within the United States. By transitioning to an online format, DEUCE is now available worldwide to millions of ATPtennis.com users.

This issue features an exclusive one-on-one feature story with US Open finalist Novak Djokovic, the man many believe will break the Federer-Nadal dominance of pro tennis. We also catch Roger Federer in a light-hearted question and answer session and spend a day in the life of Los Angeles tournament director Bob Bob Kramer.

I hope you enjoy the new DEUCE and I welcome your comments, which may be emailed to content@atptennis.com.

Enjoy!
