Newspapers & Magazines
"I love the fact that even though Cattle To Courts covers Texas Tennis History, it is not text book reading... It reads like a novel. Ken has produced a must-read for tennis fans." -- Zina Garrison, Olympic Gold Medallist; Wimbledon singles finalist "Nobody knows Texas tennis like Ken McAllister, who for six decades has played, coached, and watched the sport all over the state. Cattle to Courts is full of anecdotes, history, and great details from the only guy to both call a footfault on Bobby Riggs and beat Warren Beatty." -- Michael Hall, Texas Monthly "Cattle to Courts is enjoyable trip down memory lane and a nice historical reference on tennis in Texas. Ken endured exhaustive research for this special project, which, no doubt for him was a labour of love" -- Cliff Drysdale, ESPN commentator and International Tennis Hall of Fame member
