Black Tennis Pros

Quite a few of you who visit Black Tennis Pro's frequently either left me a comment here at the site, or sent me an email to let me know that you voted for Black Tennis Pro's in the 2009 Black Web Awards. Thank you so very much to each and every one of you. Your support lifted Black Tennis Pro's to the win as Best Site For Black Athletes and I am genuinely thrilled. I don't know about you, but I like to win!

The funny thing about my finding out about the win is that I stopped by to see SjP at Sojourner's Place, who also deserves a hearty congratulations for her win as Best Online Commentator. As I was reading the related article, I found out that I had won. This is exactly how I found out that I had been nominated, stopping by Sojourner's Place. Thanks for the constant 411 SjP!

I haven't had an opportunity to go through the entire list of winners as yet, but SjP noted that the following sites were among the winners.

Barack Obama.com - Most Important Site for Black America & Most Original Site
Black Women in Europe Blog - Best Black European Site
Black Blog Watch - Best Black Blog Directory
You Betta Recognize - Best Education
Raw Dawg Buffalo - Best Business & Political

Congratulations to all of the winners!

What a fantabulous surprise!

So I hike over to the 2009 Black Web Awards to vote for SjP of Sojourner's Place (she's been nominated for Best Online Commentator), and what do I find? Black Tennis Pro's has been nominated for Best Site for Black Athletes!

I don't know who found such favor in this site, but thank you very much, I appreciate the honor.

For those of you not familiar with the Black Web Awards, here is a snippet of their purpose:

"Launched in the Spring of 2006, the Black Web Awards began as an effort to highlight the myriad of original, positive websites with content from the Black perspective. Hosted exclusively at BlackWebAwards.com, the BlackWebAwards endeavored to produce an original event where the internet public both nominated and later vote for their favorite websites in one of just under one hundred categories ranging from religion and politics to entertainment and culture."
