The GreatBase Tennis Podcast Episode 253 - TENNIS TALK

On the 253rd episode of the GreatBase Tennis podcast, Steve Smith, Jeff Lewis, and Dave Anderson talk tennis.

Their conversation focuses primarily on competitive junior tennis in the US.

The trio have history. Steve has known Dave for forty years and Jeff for nearly thirty. Hopefully, their time in developmental tennis translates into an interesting number of various perspectives that will help our listeners.

One highlight of this episode is being informed on how to connect with Jeff and Dave’s online instruction.

Thanks for listening.
