Hey guys, I just got into Toronto for a tournament here this week. Now the hard court season is under way. Last week, I played in Indianapolis in the first tournament in the US summer circuit.

I had a little trouble with the footing on the grass and it didn't let me go after my shots and be as aggressive as   more...
