I was checking out the Ocho last night in between Olympics. What did I learn....

Beach tennis is a thing and is popular in Brazil and PR. Hermosa beach has had dedicated courts for 15 years. Kadime seems more fun.

Forehand strike is not a slap fighting league but some bastardization of handball and pickleball combined played in CT
