Alex is in Surprise, Arizona at the ITA Fall Nationals. Head coach, Ryan Sachire is in charge at this tournament. Alex has been playing well this fall and this is the last tournament of the college fall season. He lost a tough first round match. He was playing very well, won the first set and then lost the next two sets as the blisters he was suffering on his hands made it virtually impossible to hold the racquet. I would post the pictures he sent me of his hands, but they are gross. 🙂
So, the trainers there worked some https://www.itatennis.com/ITA/Events/Oracle_ITA_National_Fall_Championships_Live_Streaming/Oracle_ITA_National_Fall_Championships_Live_Streaming.aspxmiracles with a special tape and he is playing the back draw. He has done very well, beaten some top players and is now in the semi-finals.
