These tennis shots make me win my match in just two sets (1.5 hours)

Good Bye DB2’s got Talent
So march 15 th was my last presentation as I was in bottom three and Judges chose Ember Crook. Good Luck Ember , I would like you to win DB2’ Got Talent contest. I am almost going to miss my DB2’s got talent’s presentations preparation. But I think I did make some good friends. Thanks Scott Hayes , Susan Visser, Martin Hubel and Klass Brant , they always liked my presentations.
