Hi,
I need to know how to say something in Spanish. I'm not asking about how to say it in a dominican way, I'm just not sure how to say it.

How can I say: "I think I met you at a tennis tournament, but I can't remember which one."

Also, do any of you know how to say some tennis terms in Spanish? Like forehand, backhand, serve, volley, overhead, slice, etc.

Thanks.

"Creo que nos conocimos en un torneo de tenis, pero no me acuerdo en cual."

I think we met at a tennis tournament, but I can't remember which one.

"Creo que te conoc?" = I think I met you.

Tennis terms - I don't really follow tennis that closely but I think a lot of English words are used.

Backhand: (golpe de) rev?s
Serve: servicio
Volley: volea
Slice: cortar (la pelota)
topspin: golpe con efecto liftado o vertical
backspin: golpe con efecto de retroceso
dropshot: dejada
