right now i only have 1 racquet and it is being strung because i broke my strings on monday. i have been running 2 miles everyday that i am not on the court and have been doing a jump rope. i do not know anymore exercises that could help my game on the courts. i thought that i would look on google but i would rather read it from professionals or expierenced players.
just to talk who the best tennis player is right now
