Player milestone October 30, 2026
Five in a row for Emily C.
Emily C., a USTA League singles, doubles and mixed doubles player, is the 38th player in 18 years to hit Coach Robert five times in a row from the baseline while he was at the net. With no warm-up, she used one stroke, stayed relaxed and did it five straight times. For perspective, the average pro hits that target about one time in five. Her desire and years of perseverance working with Robert paid off on October 30, 2026. The joy of this day will be remembered and shared with family for years to come. Great job, Emily!

Congratulations, Maddie! This is just the beginning—you have many more records to achieve in the future.

Where is your game?
Build your style.
Most players do not need a thousand different forehands. They need a game they can repeat under pressure: one trusted forehand, one backhand, dependable first and second serves, a confident volley, a reliable overhead, and a style that feels like their own.
