2018-2019 Indoor Season
Our fall 2018 indoor season starts Tuesday, September 4th, and ends Sunday, May 6th, 2019.
In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquility.
Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill but you can’t play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
