My favorite weapon in singles play is the return of serve because it allows me to set up the point. In doubles, my favorite shot is my topspin lob which I like to use when the other team is unwinding their stack and at the kitchen line.
 
Transcript: "So my number one weapon in singles play I would say is the return of serve because you use it to put yourself in a good position to either try to approach the net or crash the net. So I really like to run around and hit a forehand drive to set up the point. In doubles play, probably my favorite shot is my topspin lob. I love to use it when the other team is unwinding their stack and also at the kitchen line."

My two children, JW and Georgia, have incredibly fast hands and the support to back it up. People feel intimidated when they face Georgia across the net.
 
Transcript: "Okay, now. Well, no one should ask me this question because I'm highly biased, but I will say I could back it up with a lot of examples that it would probably be my two children. JW and Georgia are both known for having incredibly fast hands in the sport. And it's been well documented that people feel that about JW, and a lot of people haven't had to face Georgia across the net, but it's quite intimidating once her hands get going."
