Juan in a Million

Tennis by Juan

There goes Muffy Vangelderson. Daughter of Senator Vangelderson. Girlfriend of Timothy Roberts III. Multiple diamonds, perfectly coiffed Chevy Chase Club tennis court habitue.

And terrorizer of you.

Rather than key her Alfa Romeo, why not beat her at her own game?

Her tennis game, that is — with instruction from Juan Carlos Marulanda of Tennis by Juan. The Colombian native (who has played professionally and taught for years) offers private lessons to any level of player on any type of court.

Just arrange a public court to play on, and Marulanda will show up to help you learn the basics or ace your almost-perfect serve. Not to mention make sure you have fun while doing it.

He’ll have you playing so well you won’t have time to worry about Muffy.

Which is fine, because now the ball’s in your court.
