It's about this time of year when the pro's on the world's tennis circuit start gearing up for the big French Open in Paris. While we're far from contending in the Grand Slam event, that doesn't mean we're not taking our training seriously at the Tennisverein Pöchlarn. In our first week of tennis for the season, we've had to make some adjustments to our game. Having never played on clay before, we needed to get used to the slower pace of the ball and the unpredictability of the surface. Not only does the ball bounce, skid and roll where it wants, the slippery surface also unfortunately makes us bounce, skid and roll where we don't want. I've already bit the dust once in a not-so-graceful manner. War-wounds aside, we love it and are happy to finally play again!
