I even got to watch a professional tournament in Arizona when I was in middle school and got to meet my favorite player, James Blake. James Blake has gone through many hard times through the past few years and still never gives up on being the best player that he can be.
In 2004 James was practicing for a masters event in Rome when he broke his neck after he slipped on the clay and collided into the net post.
