Half-man, half-animal, Tony Horton and the rest of the Beachbody crew are what I like to call, MANIMALS. Power 90 Extreme, more known as P90X, has become a daily routine for some of us working at Tennis Warehouse. We wanted to see if this was the “Mother of all workouts” and if it actually benefited [...]

There are stereotypes in which 60% of the time, all the time, are true. For example, Asians.  All Asians look alike, we’re bad at driving (especially if you’re a woman), we’re math geniuses, pictures are inevitable, one of the finalists on America’s Best Dance Crew will always be an Asian group, we play piano or [...]

Click, click, click, buzz. Let me sail, let me sail. Click, click, click, buzz. Let the Orinoco flow. I closed my eyes, tried to breathe normally, and let my body fall into a hypnotic sleep to the sounds of the MRI machine and Enya. A few weeks on and a few weeks off of tennis [...]

In any sport, when you reach a certain level of competition, the physical demands of the game take a toll on your body.

My timeline of racquets: Racquet / Weight (strung) / Balance [...]

The last two weekends I have participated in our local tennis tournaments to fill my competitive void. The Soto Tennis Tournament, actually sponsored by Tennis Warehouse, and the Santa Maria Comcast 31st Open. The highest level in the Soto tourney was A, in which Chris and I joined to win the mixed division relatively easily. [...]

Prepare, balance, and relax. Those were the inspirational words of Bob Hansen that became the foundation of the game of tennis during my stay at the adult Nike Tennis Camp in Santa Cruz, California. Just to give you an insight of the coaching quality this camp offered, Director Bob Hansen is the creator of the [...]

I took another exciting trip down to the LA Open to watch the semi-final match between Sam Querrey and Tommy Haas, and Legends match between Jim Courier and Michael Chang. Querrey had an entourage of fans in the stands that outnumbered the cheers for Haas. The most noticeable of fans were a group of topless [...]

What better way to spend a Monday than at the LA Open watching the exhibition between Pete Sampras and Marat Safin? We felt priviledged to visit the beautiful campus of UCLA to hear the “Ooos” and “Ahhhs” from those supporting Team USA or Team Mother Russia. Not only was it great tennis, but also truly [...]
