Sam's Season Begins in Earnest

Sam's doubles partner of last year, Nick, decided to abandon him, and play mixed doubles. So Sam started playing with Cody. But, Cody broke his foot, so Coach decided Nick better come back and play with Sam. So they've made up and are together again.

It was a cold and windy day, so they played in their warmups.

But Sam put some heat into his serves. Notice the proper position of his left fingers.

And the correct posture while awaiting service.

Nick prepares to smack one.

Slapping skin.
