This is a forum for my thoughts on tennis — the pro game, the amateur game, the way the game is taught and how it is played, what's right about the game and what could be improved. On occasion, I will examine particular matches or the results of a particular player, but the focus will be on the macro level — on analysis rather than on reportage. Also, on occasion I will share my views on how best to teach players different skills at varying levels. I will entertain your thoughts, as well, and over time will link to other bloggers and websites that I find useful or interesting. I hope you'll enjoy what you read here, and that you'll tell your friends about it when you discover something that has helped you to better understand and play the game. Because, bottom line... this is a blog for players who are passionate about tennis.

- I fell in love with the game when I struck my first ball at the age of eight. Self-taught, I played Division I collegiate tennis in the early 1980s, have won my state's men's singles championship (30 and over), and am a PTR-certified instructor. I built my game on an all-court attacking style, relying on a solid serve, penetrating slice backhand and chip returns to set up my forehand and strong volleys.
