Well Done Sheila!
I'm really looking forward to future interviews. Now what can be done to get this young man a sponsor? It seems such a shame doesn't it?

Thanks Unit6109!

It is so unfortunate when talented individuals don't have the support and benefits that places like the U.S. and other countries offer.

Additionally, the way to get more sponsors is to get his ranking up, but he can't get his ranking up if he doesn't have the opportunity to participate in more lucrative tournaments. It's a catch-22 situation.

Thanks BlogPassion, I'm sure he appreciates the goodwill.

Yes Keala, that's the first thing that we noticed about him, , then his tennis.

Thanks Ladies... well Sheila really did a nice job and maybe I can even get a sponsor out of this =)

Thanks Shelia, will send the link back.
BlogPassion | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 8:10 am | #

He is handsome, I have found another reason to watch more tennis.
MrsGrapevine | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 1:11 pm | #

I'm glad to know that he has done some modeling, so he's aware that he's very marketable.
MrsGrapevine | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 1:12 pm | #

You're welcome BlogPassion.

Hey MG! I agree, extending hisself into other areas can also help with visability for his tennis career.
Shelia | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 2:29 pm | #

Shelia, that was a great interview. I don't understand why he doesn't have a major sponsor.

Girl, he is a gorgeous young man. Can you find out if he has any single uncles...older brothers... cousins...etc.? Lord, I can't do the Stella thing but he sure is fine.

You can just do a Dustin post each week and that would be fine with me. LOL
Vanessa | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 7:25 pm | #

Vanessa, you can rest assured that you are not alone . We all think that Dustin is one good looking fella!

I hadn't thought about a possible uncle though, next time I talk to him I'll check . Good lookin' out!
Shelia | Homepage | 02.22.08 - 8:04 pm | #

Great interview, I'm so glad you posted it.

Plus he is rather hot so...there ya go.

I'm heading to his websites now.
cooper | Homepage | 02.23.08 - 12:51 am | #

Thanks Cooper!

Yes, that hotness of his is really eye catching. You'll see a lot more of it on his site.
Shelia | Homepage | 02.23.08 - 2:33 am | #

I posted a photo of Dustin on the sidebar of 'on the black hand side' with a link back to this post.

I'm going to keep his picture posted until...well...I don't know how long. LOL
