Man, a lot has changed since last week. And we’re not talking about Milos Raonic’s return to health or Belinda Bencic’s new agreement with IMG. In a spirit of healing, let’s start with three causes to promote and support:
1) Paul Tuozzolo, a sergeant and 19-year veteran with the NYPD, was killed last week in the line of duty. His wife Lisa has been a longtime member of the U.S. Open Officials crew, serving, among other roles, as point person for the uniforms. A contingent from the USTA attended a wake and funeral last week. The Sergeant’s Benevolent Association has set up a Go Fund Me page, which is accepting donations for a scholarship fund for Paul and Lisa’s two young children.
