Update ikeTennis 2013 planning

Dear all !

We will be back for this year's Roland Garros tournament. Perhaps even the Brussels Open.
Currently we are negotiating with a couple of other blogs to intergrate & share our content to maximize the media flow and attract new advertisers.

Expect a brand new design for this year in the following months, this time we would like to bring more focus to photo reports & video rather than the daily news you can find on the ATP & WTA tour websites too.

 

PS: please don't email us for SEO optimization or similar web services, we have people here who cover the server/technical side for us.
