January 6, Sunday - Tennis.
This is the first regular tennis practice of the year, and the first practice after that disastrous January 2 tennis tournament. It started off slowly because there weren't many people there. Only about 6 to start, but people started slowly dribbling in as the day wore on. We ended up with about 15 people in all at the end. But the drill menu was as usual, but we started to play matches earlier that usual because of the low numbers and we all got to play about three matches. The first two matches I was not playing well. I was playing with virtually zero confidence in my strokes and serve. I just wasn't feeling my contact point today. I just felt off and it showed in my play. My partner and I lost that first match 2-4. Then, because we lost, we played the next match as well. Same partner, we did a little worse, and I still couldn't win a service game. I was falling behind early and I just couldn't come back. We eventually lost 1-4. My partner is a good player, but for some reason, whenever we pair up, we can't seem to win. This has been going on since I entered this tennis club. Last year, we paired up a few times, but lost each time. For my third match, I paired with another good player. Again, I lost my first service game, but the other team also wasn't doing any better, so we were able to break back. Eventually, we were down 2-3 and I was up to serve. The pressure was on. Twice on the day, my service games were taken to Deuce/Game Point, and I had lost it. This time as well, I was taken to Game Point and this was to be the final game because of time. Thankfully, I was able to pull it off and we took that game, my first service game with of the year. However, it ended 3-3 so I still didn't have a win this year.
In the end, I burned a good 2247 kcals. I was moving a lot in the warm-ups and drills because of the small number so I was very happy.
