This book is about my growing up and coming to love the game of tennis. Tennis is truly a game that I enjoy playing on a competitive level and teaching others to play. An Arthur Ashe I am not. A John McEnroe- not even close. I am a self-taught tennis player who has disputed the words I CAN’T! or any of the negatives I once associated with learning to play this wonderful game.

I have been asked, why the title- TWO FOREHANDS? Because as I have traveled over the years playing tennis tournaments in and out of Texas, meeting a lot of interesting people and players- many times they do not remember my name, but they do remember that I play with either hand and often I have heard them reply- There’s that guy with TWO FOREHANDS. With that in mind, I thought what a fitting title for my book. I hope that you enjoy reading it. –RONNIE W. BLAKE
