Transcript

Today, I'm playing with Eric again. I will show to him that I have been working on what he told me last time. The three main things will be not stepping across my body on my forehand, my weight balance on my serve, and using a more continental grip instead of eastern on my volleys. It is a gift to be able to train with him, and I will show him my gratitude in the form of my effort.
