calzamante Welcome to the fourth volume of
netcord. This volume, our contributors were asked to focus on nationality and its intersection with tennis, be it with the upcoming Olympics, Davis and Fed cups, or some other way, with players of the same nationality or those of different nationalities. As always, the usual disclaimers apply. This is all fiction and was written with the sole purpose of amusement. No disrespect is intended, and I sincerely hope no offense is taken. Generally, all of these stories may contain mention of homoerotic behaviours and/or relationships. Additional warnings are listed.

Enjoy! I’m sure all our authors would very much appreciate feedback on their work, so be sure to leave a comment if you’re of a mind. Also, authors, if there’s anything wrong with the formatting, please leave me a comment
here.
I’d also like to say thank you to all the authors who have contributed over the last four (!!!) volumes. I’d also like to thank everyone who’s offered suggestions, encouragement, and help over the course of these four volumes, both to myself and to all our wonderful authors. You’ve done more than you can possibly know. Hopefully, I’ll see you all back here in September for Volume 5.
