Gift ideas for a tennis player - aka my tennis wish list
Christmas is just around the corner and, with the first snowflakes ❄️, even the first wish list investigations have come. And even though I'm a surprise lover in the DNA 🧬, this year I've decided to write down my wishes. Who knows, maybe Santa Claus 🎅🏻 will read my letter and bring me one of the things on my list! Plus, why not kill two (or three) birds with one stone? What I'm saying is, you may find something you want to add to your own list too! Or, why not, something to buy for that friend of yours who seems to be thinking about tennis most of the time 💭🎾.

Tennis shot selection made easy - the DNO theory
We all know that every ball is different 🎾⚽️🏀. And yet most of the time, we approach different balls in the same exact way. Why? Because choosing wisely (aka shot selection in tennis jargon), especially when under pressure 🤯, is not an easy task. Not at all! But lucky for us 🍀, the DNO theory comes to our aid and makes it much easier. Ever heard about it?

I'm learning the Federer forehand! Here's why and how
My forehand has been my weak groundstroke since foreverrr: it's never come natural to me, NEVER! And it's not even like I've been neglecting it compared to my backhand and serve, not at all! Instead, I've always practiced it a lot more, just because it never really felt right to me. Hence I think it's time to acknowledge the fact that the WTA bent-arm forehand is not really my thing and move on.
