Now a tip from our very own tennis pro, Phil Hazelton, submitted in light the professional tennis competition played out on an international stage. Phil begins with the question, "Want something free?" And continues, "Not many things are, but you can get 'free advice' about strategy through lessons, visual stroke production, and listening to world class player commentary by watching the tennis channel, all in the comforts of your home. Watch, learn, and listen." Phil concludes his Tennis Tip by stressing the sheer enjoyment of tennis with more free advice, "Keep your eye on the ball and the fun in your game." Tennis
