Flashing it back to one of the best activations we’ve done, one of the best of the Open, a massive undertaking featuring the former World #5 Genie Bouchard, the former #9 Andrea Petkovic, elite coaches Marc Lucero and Joel Myers , for a series of clinics, Q&A, brunch from Pura Vida, and our signature Money Dingles and a One Point Slam. We hosted 60 players, had a great group of sponsors, and it was an absolute blast. More to come. Paris next.

This was crazy to me to see being used in an official match, nevertheless in the US Open Juniors Final! 😳

This is an amazing tool when changing grips and breaking old habits. Changing grips is, IMO, one of the hardest changes to make because the angles change completely, so having a tool that helps you actually feel the correct change can be super helpful.

I’ve used it in the past with my players to help them move from a full Western to a Semi-Western grip, and also to help them find the correct Continental grip.

If you’re struggling to find the correct grip or you have a grip that’s too extreme, this is an amazing tool to try! 🎾

Thank you @cshaptennispod for sharing the videos with me. Super interesting!

This year I prepared myself to float around the energy that the @usopen brings to NYC, always with a camera capturing some of the cool stuff I was able to see around the city, friends, athletes, people. No sugarcoating anything, just a little mix of film and digital photos, I still have to get some more developed :)
