Pan American Championship Games in Guadalajara, MX

On Saturday, October 22nd both my players will be playing for a Gold Medal: Paola Longoria is in 2 finals for both Women's Singles and Doubles representing Mexico.

The energy, the cheering, the chanting, the clapping and doing the wave is incredible. This is how tournaments should be in the states. Hopefully I will have good
