10sBalls.com and TennisBalls.com are proud to celebrate our own Ricky Dimon, who just completed the 50th Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. — his eighth time taking on the iconic course. Not only did he finish strong, but he shattered his previous personal best by an impressive four minutes, clocking in at 3:14.
Known around the world primarily for his work inside the tennis media centers of Wimbledon, Roland-Garros, and the US Open, Coach Dimon brings the same dedication, preparation, and competitive fire to his running as he does to his journalism. Whether he is breaking down a five-set thriller on Centre Court or pacing through the monuments of the National Mall, Ricky carries a deep love for sport and storytelling.
For years, Ricky has been one of the most widely read young tennis voices of his generation. His writing blends sharp analysis with a smart, fan-friendly style that captures the nuance of the game — from Challengers and juniors to the biggest Grand Slam stages.
Outside of his global coverage here at 10sBalls.com, he also operates his own tennis platform, further expanding his reach and reputation among players, coaches, and fans. Ricky has a well-earned reputation as the fittest man in tennis journalism.
The Marine Corps Marathon is often called “The People’s Marathon,” and it suits him perfectly: grit, humility, discipline, and joy in the journey.
All of us at 10sBalls.com are proud to applaud his achievement — and we’re already looking forward to what he conquers next, on the roads and on the courts and can’t leave out in McDonald’s.
