I went to the PPA in Atlanta last weekend.  If you have the chance to go to a PPA, GO.  I always thought I could win a point or two against the PPA players, NO FUCKING WAY.  The event was well run and for the time being, the players are approachable and super friendly.  There are no tunnels and no players only areas, they are there amongst you.  I was looking for some friends who were playing in the non pro division and found a two courts way in the back.  I looked in and the semifinalist were practicing.  The Court was open and was able to sit in basically in what would be an umpire's chair in tennis which was maybe four feet from the net post and watch the warm ups.  Ben and Anna Leigh were warming up with Dekle Barr and JW and Jorga Johnson were warming up with Andre the giant and Tina Pisnik.  Here is that pic and other pics I took.   image.thumb.jpeg.6e2bcf64653600935d7bae30ab457710.jpeg

I'm finally holding my own against 3.5 (informal) players when they used to kill me. Open play not tournament so often the teams have never partnered. I want to tell myself that some of 3.5 players, who were killing me, actually had some 4.0 skills but were afraid to make the jump up.

The area that I'm working on now is stop hitting the ball slightly too high when the other team is at the kitchen. A good 3.5 players will slam it to my feet.
