Summary
Ricky Dimon is a sports journalist with more than 15 years of experience covering professional tennis and more than seven years in the betting industry. When he isn't coaching high school athletics at home in Atlanta, Georgia, he is often on the road covering the pro tennis tours -- such as at Wimbledon, the French Open, US Open and other tournaments around the United States like Indian Wells, Miami and Washington, DC. A graduate of Davidson College in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ricky also covers high school football in Georgia -- so he is invested in the game at all levels. Ricky's specialties are the "country club sports" of tennis and golf, but he prides himself on being a versatile handicapper who can provide a wealth of knowledge on multiple sports at both the collegiate and professional levels.
