The LA Women’s Tennis Championship was amazing, wasn’t it? There was some amazing tennis being played!

There were tie-breakers, match points saved, break points saved, ball crunching serves, and wonderful fans all over. It was quite amazing, and I had a lot of fun.

Now if you watched it (…I know you did b/c we just talked about immersing yourself in the sport and watching professional competition just last week :wink: ), you should have picked up some very valuable tips. I sure did.

The reason for that is because, many times, it’s something that you usually don’t see coming right away. It often appears without…
