So tonight is the last home match of the Washington Kastles. If you’re in the DC area I highly recommend you come to the match. Anna Kournikova will be playing for the St. Louis Aces.
The Kastles have been very generous with the access they have provided FYB. We’ve spoken on numerous occasions with head coach Murphy Jensen and the players (more advice from the pros is on the way!) and the team has gone out of their way to facilitate our ability to film the matches. All that access has and will continue to allow us to create some great instructional content.
As you may recall, in early June we filmed a charity Pro-Am hosted by ThanksUSA, which provides scholarships to military families. Well, tonight is Military Appreciate Night at the Kastles match and ThanksUSA is sending several families with special connections to the charity to the match.
Here are several of the interviews we did at their Pro-Am last month. The first is with Rachel (14) and Kelsi Okun (12), who came up with the idea of the charity when they were on vacation several years ago. The second is with Martin Blackman, a fantastic coach with the USTA who talks about a simple trick for improving your forehand.

Hey Will
Those tips are exactly the sort of thing that should be in FYB Premium.
There must be 100's of tips like that to either fix and/or improve technique.
Cheers

Martin is a great coach.
Cool tips! I do a huge backswing too, so I'm definitely gonna try them.
