Anyone who has ever played a tennis match before knows that you experience a wide range of different emotions throughout. Passion, determination and desire all play a huge role in the mental aspect of the game. The audio clip below is a song I have composed, written and arranged called Match Point, which is intended to capture those strong emotions we feel on court. I hope you all enjoy it! Let me know if this sums up your experience.

The Angel Up Above

What does it mean to lose someone who meant so much to you? In this documentary, the lens is turned onto Bruno Agostinelli, who was the boys under 14 National Junior Tennis Coach at Tennis Canada. The 28-year-old was killed in a motorcycle crash just two weeks after his son, Alessio, was born. The news shocked the entire Canadian tennis community, as well as his loved ones. Alessio is now two-and-a-half-years-old, and is already taking group tennis lessons. He is also expressing an interest for the sport, like his father did. This documentary features Bruno’s wife Andrea Agostinelli, his co-worker Dean Coburn, and his student Nick Lagaev.
