    Our friend and tennis pro Heinz Haas has shared with us everything you need to know about the newest summer sport making waves: Beach Tennis.

    "Beach Tennis USA takes the fun and fast-paced sport of tennis and combines it with the sun, sea and sand of the beach. It merges the worlds of tennis and beach volleyball into one exciting sport."

    What he failed to mention was that this was a bum spectators dream sporting event.
