Video

Here in Sweden it´s winter right now. Today we have -3 degrees celsius and to play outdoor is not an option. We actually remove the nets and lines from the claycourts early October and then let the courts rest until middle of April.

this time of the year we have to play on a very limited nr´s of expensive indoor courts. In my region we have 4 plexipave courts in Tabergsdalen, 4 LatexIte courts in Jönköping, 3 carpet in Bankeryd and 2 Carpet-granulate in Habo. Those locations are spread in a 50 km area.

An hour costs around 15 euro´s during the winter and it´s almost impossible to find a court from 3 pm until 10 pm weekdays. Only chance to play during winter is very late nights or late or very early on weekends.. To bad! The little touch that once was dissapear very fast.

I played an hour of tennis last week in Bankeryd, on a lightning fast carpet and to make things worse, bad lights...

This is a short video of how it went. I tried to make some experiments on my serve early on but in the end of the video i´m back to normal serve again..
