TOUR TEAM HIGHLIGHT

JAMES BLAKE RETURNS TO DUNLOP

James Blake has rejoined the Dunlop Tour Team, the most accomplished in tennis. Pres-
ently ranked # 8 in the world, Blake is the highest ranked American player to sign with
Dunlop since John McEnroe in 1981. Adding to the excitement, Blake will be playing
with a Dunlop frame at the French Open, his first tournament since re-signing and where
Dunlop is the official ball supplier. Dunlop plans to unveil which one of its cutting-edge
Aerogel racquets James Blake will play at the Wimbledon championships.

“I began my professional career at Dunlop, have played the best tennis of my career with a Dunlop frame and I am looking forward to
calling Dunlop home again,” said Blake. “The new Aerogel racquet technology provides several frame specifications that will suit my
game well and give me the confidence to know that I can take my career to new heights.”

Known for his speed and powerful forehand, Blake was first signed by Dunlop when he turned pro in 1999. He has won a total of 9
professional singles titles and finished 2006 at a career-high World #4. His unwillingness to accept defeat in the face of adversity and
his charisma both on and off the court have made him a fan favorite.

“James has enormous talent, presence and respect on tour,” said Neil Morton, CEO of Dunlop Sports Group Americas. “He epitomiz-
es what Dunlop tennis is all about. We’re excited to have him back, and we know he’ll have continued success playing with Aerogel.”
With Blake, Dunlop continues the strong momentum built behind its line of Aerogel racquets which has received a number of ‘best in
class’ awards around the world. Aerogel is being played by an increasing number of top tour professionals and top junior players –
its success made clear through record sales.

Dunlop Sports now boasts 4 players in the ATP top 12 -- James Blake (8th), Tommy Robredo (9th), Tommy Haas (10th), and
Tomas Berdych (12th) -- all of them playing with the extraordinary technology of the new Dunlop Aerogel racquet.

D-SQUAD HIGHLIGHT
I would like to introduce you to our youngest Junior D-Squad members, 11 year olds Yannik
Mahlangu and Pascal Nilsson. Yannik is from Henderson, Nevada where he trains primarily with
his Father, Richie Mahlangu and coach Saad Ashraf, alongside his brother Nicholas, who is also
an outstanding Junior D-Squad member. Pascal is from Las Vegas, Nevada and also trains with
his coach, Saad Ashraf. All three of these D-Squad members chose the Aerogel 300 as their
weapon on the court!

Yannik and Pascal, both competed in singles and doubles, at the Summer Sectional Champion-
ships in Colorado the second week of July. Yannik went into the singles draw seeded #2 and
Pascal seeded #6. The boys found themselves face to face in the final round! Pascal ended up
winning the match against Yannik 3-6, 6-2, 6-0. Saad Ashraf relayed to Dunlop the match “was a high level match for a boy’s 12 and
under final which saw full court tennis being played from both finalists. Rarely do you see serve and volley, hit and charge on returns,
and winners from the baseline from both participants. They made us all very proud.”

After the singles final, the D-Squader’s were not done yet. They had a Doubles final to conquer, in which they paired up to win it all!
They upset the #1 seeded team of Kevin Colopy and Matt Pierce 6-4, 6-3 in the finals. This doubles championship was Yannik and
Pascal’s second sectional championship together!

Dunlop is so proud to have Yannik and Pascal apart of the Junior D-Squad! Keep up the great work boys!

FEATURED PRO - JUAN CORONEL

With more than 30 years as a successful tennis professional, Juan Coronel has
been a world ranked player, coached amateurs and professionals, and worked with
club players of all ages and abilities. A U.S. citizen since the 1980s, Juan was born
and raised in Panama, where he first learned to play tennis in the Canal Zone. Good
enough to earn a college scholarship, he captained his NCAA Division II champion-
ship team. Juan then became an international circuit player traveling throughout
Europe, South America and the U.S.

Next came coaching for world ranked male and female players on the ATP and WTA
tours. Juan coached the Davis Cup team for the Republic of Panama in 2003 and
2006.

Tired of traveling, Juan settled in the New York area where he served as tennis direc-
tor at several country clubs. In the 1990s, Juan was ranked 4th nationally in men’s 35
doubles, and won a number of titles in local NY tournaments.

Most recently, Juan has been spending winters in the Tampa, Florida area as a private
coach for a family there. This allows him time to visit friends and family back in
Panama. Summers have been spent at clubs in the NY metro area, until now, 2007 in
Martha’s Vineyard. Juan has a very engaging personality and can teach tennis in four
languages.

Juan has been a sponsored Dunlop Advisory Staff member for over 20 years and
