TennisNYC.com tennis league last Friday night. Alan played 2 hours
of intense hitting (singles), tennis drills and singles games.
During the tennis drills, Alan had to stop for a few breaks to catch his
breath, however soon after that, his conditioning got better and
better. "This is the most exercise I have gotten in a few
months!" he said excitedly. Alan works full time as a tax
consultant. He graduated from SUNY Albany few years ago and played
tennis in High School. He hits with a big western grip on the
forehand side and he is the first player in the TennisNYC.com league who
plays a serve and volley game! Welcome to the group,
Alan!
