live. Attached link is one of only 2 B1 matches I know was recorded from
Dublin, its my round robin game against Ireland

Hi Peter,
thanks for your email.
I agree-the tournament two weeks ago was incredible and the final was the
best that I've seen.
unfortunately I couldn't find good videos online either and have emailed the
International Blind Tennis Association (IBTA) president to ask if he knows of
where we could get them. someone in New Castle was filming the final so the
video has to be somewhere.
on that point though, I will say that every player is different and we need
to find out what our strengths are as learning from the best is great but
copying their stance or technique might not actually work for everyone. just
my two cents.
good luck and hope to see everyone in Cambridge (I will not be doing
Brighton).
cheers and enjoy Brighten!
With best regards,
Naqi Haider Rizvi

Hi All,
Firstly, a warm welcome to four people who have joined this Email group
since the Newcastle tournament. There are now 21 members.
Secondly, for those who weren't in Newcastle, just to say that it was
one of the best and most encouraging tournaments I've ever attended. In
particular, the final between Rachel and Roy was stunningly exciting
with plenty of 5-shot rallies. The best B1 tennis I've ever seen, and
the sort of B1 game that I'd always hoped would be possible.
Thirdly a question: the coaches at our clut don't have much experience
of the current B1 game, and I'd really like to point them to any video
clips which show how the top players move around and hit returns. A
clip from that final would be ideal, but any others showing top players
would be really useful. I have tried Googling without success, so if
you know of any Youtube clips, or could post, please do get back.
Best,
Peter
