Who gets to play mixed doubles with WTA superstar, Genie Bouchard? Well, I did at the second annual "Tennis With the Stars" event, put on by Cliff Drysdale Tennis and held at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa on Tuesday night.

Remember to listen to the AudioBoo for this week's "flyer" pick.
Three magnificent golf courses and many picturesque vistas greet the golfers this week as the PGA makes it annual stop at Pebble Beach.
A great field is expected and the usual assortment of celebrities will play alongside the pros for the first three rounds.
In 2010, Dustin Johnson outlasted veteran Paul Goydos for the title finishing at 18-under par.
This year, Johnson returns to defend his title, but he will have the likes of Phil Mickelson, Nick Watney, Justin Leonard and Hunter Mahan to contend with.
Weather is always a factor at Pebble Beach, but this week the forecast appears good for Pebble and the surrounding courses. A slight chance of rain could come as the tournament ends on Sunday.
Here is this week's buy, sell, and hold.
Buy:
Phil Mickelson (A) Phil is a good play here. He opened well at the Phoenix Open and if he can keep that going for four rounds, he should win here. He's currently 8th on the money list and he finished T-8 here last year.
Robert Garrigus (C) - Not off to a great start in 2011, but his is longer than long off the tee and that could give him a chance at this event.
Dustin Johnson (A) - The defending champ's game is perfect for this tournament. He already has two top-10 finishes this year and even though he had one bad round in Phoenix, he played pretty well.
D.J. Trahan (B) He's off to a bit of a slow start so far for 2011, but he showed some signs of life in the 2nd round at Phoenix. He had a T-10 last year at Pebble and if he gets hot he'll be in contention.
Tim Clark (B) - Clark is always a must play here. He has 5 career top 10's at this event. Better pick him up this week. He's going to play well.
Sell:
John Daly (C) - Not one top-10 in 92 straight starts. No reason to believe he will start a good streak here.
Tommy Gainey (C) - "Two Gloves" is coming off a top-10 in Phoenix, but with the wealth of talent available at the C-level this week, Gainey is a little to inconsistent to rely on.
Padraig Harrington (A) - You probably want to wait until the weather gets a little warmer and he gets some events under his belt before you want to pick him up
Hold:
Mark Wilson (C) - After winning two events already this year, is Wilson going to play this week? He's the hottest golfer on tour, but make sure he doesn't withdraw.
