I’m Mike Rogers, and yes, I’ve spent more time hacking away at tennis balls than I’d care to admit. Let’s just say my knees and I have seen a few wars (most of them against my own backhand). The truth? You never really reach the finish line in this game. There’s always a new trick to learn, a serve to fix, or a point to chase—even when you swear you only came for the post-match snacks.

Expect a steady mix of practical tips and hilarious lessons, all served with a healthy dose of honesty and laughter. I spotlight wild points, friendly rivalries, and those moments when we’re all just out there hoping our shorts don’t split. My stories come from my journey—and from players who know what it’s like chasing the next win after sixty.
