Have you ever played short sets for an important tournament? Did it end well? Have you ever had to consider the conversion ratio for the scores?

We really enjoyed having Dave and Tom on the show to discuss their experience playing short sets at the USTA state tournament.  They are both 3.0s who have been to states and sectionals numerous times.

Ever wondered why a simple game of tennis can sometimes feel like navigating a social maze? Have you ever thought your opponent didn't have very good tennis manners? 

Tennis, and especially adult recreational tennis, is a little strange with all the etiquette, protocols, and manners involved in a match. Also, what one person considers bad manners another may not. In this episode, Erin discusses situations she has had with opponents who she believes did not have the best tennis manners.  Carolyn mostly agrees, but we learned that bad manners can be very subjective!
