Top-class doubles novice Taylor Weidman fought out the finish with 20 games for the night

I should not leave out that Taylor is a junior player and fierce in her strategic play

Nose to nose was Megan Reddish also with 20 games

A seasoned doubles player with quick feet and relentless groundstrokes, Megan was mad-supportive to Taylor when they played together

Taylors parents were cheering from the catwalk

Plantar Fasciitis Troubles?

Plantar Fasciitis Taping

Things you'll need: Athletic tape, 1 inch wide

1 Tear off a strip of athletic tape long enough to span the width of your foot at its widest place, leaving enough tape to come up over the sides of the foot.

2 Place the tape across the foot at the toe joints so that the tape covers the ball of the foot. If you're not sure where this is, wiggle your big toe. You can feel the toe joint when the toe moves. Smooth the tape down and press it firmly into place, pulling the ends of the tape up over the sides of the foot. This is known as the anchor strip.

3 Place a strip of tape around the inside and outside edges of the foot. This piece of tape begins at one end of the anchor strip, runs around the heel and stops at the other end of the anchor strip.

4 Make a support ribbon shape with the next piece of tape. Beginning at the anchor strip just below the little toe, bring the tape across the sole of the foot and around the heel. Then bring it back across the sole, stopping just below the big toe. The end result is a piece of tape that looks just like a support or awareness ribbon; the heel is in the loop while the tape forms an 'X' across the center of the foot.

5 Repeat step 4, beginning with the big toe.

6 Cover the bottom of the foot with short pieces of tape, running from one side to the other. Start at the anchor strip and work your way down the foot, making sure each piece is firmly stuck to the last.

This taping has helped me.

I hope it helps you as well
