Christian Alshon - tennis player who is playing PB

 I stumbled across Christian Alshon in a match he played against Ben Johns.  It was highly entertaining.  He didn't win, but it went three and the points were incredible.  

He has a YouTube channel, seems a personable guy and he's documenting his trip in pro PB.

I watched the one match and then a video he made about the differences between tennis an PB.  His remark that I bring to our attention is that shot selection is a critical skill.  And just because you can make a crazy good shot doesn't mean you should try to hit it in a match.

Here are a couple of links:

The last link is to a channel called Henry Pickleball - it's very nice as he edits a lot of the delays between points and timeouts, etc.
