Tell us about your favorite experience playing beach tennis: My sister and I were in the semi-finals of the 2007 Santa Barbara Tournament. I was serving on the deuce side of the center court. The ball left my racquet and flew through the air, hit the net, spun around ... and got stuck in the net! Alex Querna of Beach Tennis USA, who was doing the match commentary, told the crowd, “I have never seen this in the history of beach tennis!" A few people rushed out to take photographs because they couldn’t believe it! Thanks to me, there’s a new rule in beach tennis: "If the ball gets stuck on the net, the point will be replayed!"
Favorite movie: Shawshank Redemption
CD I can't stop listening to: A CD I made for a road trip to Vegas with hits of the 80's and 90's.
