While in Paris, I had the amazing opportunity to play tennis on practice courts just outside the city — the very same courts used by players preparing for Roland Garros.

I’m truly grateful to Mr. Umetada, who has lived in Paris for many years, and Genya-san, a tennis coach in France, for taking the time to hit with me and share such a great session on high-quality clay. Thank you so much!

I hope we can meet and play together again the next time I’m in Paris.
