77 Year Drought OVER!
Well if you didn't watch the men's Wimbledon final, and you don't watch t.v. or read the news paper then you may not know that Andy Murray Defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 Sunday, July 7, 2013; this was an exciting day for British tennis and a great relief to Andy Murray (and Andy Murray fans) I'm sure.
What pressure it must have been to have the weight of a country thrust upon your shoulder's and to still be able to pull through with such an incredible win, not only the win of a Major Final but the win of a Major final held in your own country. I must say, "Andy you deserve it - you've worked hard and persevered through some very challenging moments and press. I can't imagine how you were able to throw-up that final toss to serve that final point without your legs giving out from under you despite all that pressure, but you did, and well done.
I think for the rest of us no matter whether you play tennis or some other sport can take a lesson from Andy Murray: If you work hard, stay focused, and push through the pain and stress you too can be as successful.
Thank you Andy for that kind of courage and congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS BRYANT BROTHERS!!!
I hope this isn't a spoiler alert for some of you but the Bryant Brothers just won their fourth straight finals in a row (Wimbledon being the fourth). It's exciting to still have some great Americans raising the flag for the U.S.A.. Thank you Bob and Mike Bryant for keeping the American Flame Shining Bright for U.S.A. Tennis (also you Serena Williams, thank you as well). The scary thing for United States tennis is that our greatest players have now hit their thirties, fortunately though, these players still seem to have a lot of years ahead of them.
The Bryant Brothers have been great ambassadors for the sport of tennis playing for us in Davis Cup and in the Olympics and always doing well. Hopefully as we round the corner to the US Open we can count on them to win another Major giving the brothers four straight finals in the same year!
We'll brothers you have to know all of us U.S. tennis fans are rooting for you. God Bless and Good luck!!!

Improving Your Forehand with James Jensen
I posted a video by James Jensen a few days ago about the Ultimate Serve; I really liked that video so I thought I would post another video he made on the Ultimate Forehand. I hope this video helps you as much as it has helped me.
