I’m not a tennis fan to be honest and haven’t watched a match on tv in probably 20 years... but your videos showed up in my suggestions and I’m really glad I started watching them because they are really entertaining. You have a real talent as a story-teller and as a producer and I hope you stick with it even if it gets tough/feels like it’s not growing as expected, or gets to feel like too much work. I have a weird feeling you are going to be really successful and I can’t think of another RU-vidr I got that feeling from watching their videos.
