We had such a great podcast with two amazing people (Steve Pratt, Tennis Writer and Jason Wood, coach and racket stringer) who help run one of the oldest tournaments in the Country/World with the Ojai Tournament. Players such as the Bryan Brothers, Taylor Fritz, Steve Johnson, Arthur Ashe, Stan Smith, John McEnroe and many more have played in it!
