Feb. 20, Regular Wednesday tennis.

February 20, 2019, Wednesday - Tennis.

Today was my regular tennis day with my club.  My son came with me and we were able to match play practice.  The drills were regular, so I'll talk about the matches.

We actually only were able to play two matches.  The first match, we played the team that we barely beat almost two years ago at a regular tournament, which resulted in them inviting me to join this club.  The pair play together a lot and are considered to be the top mixed doubles team in the club.  When we played them, we beat them in a tiebreaker in the first match of our day.  Today, we, my son and I, were a lot better and we crushed them, 6-0.  I was happy that we could show our growth in just two short years.  Everything was just clicking, we were moving well and our serves and strokes were sharp.  It felt good... No, it felt great!

Then we moved back to the drill courts to give a few others a chance to play a match, but we went back to try it again when that match was finished.  The second time around, things seemed to have switched off.  All our serves were way off and all the guys were broken.  With time short, the one female served and held, so they went up 1-3.  I wish we had the time to finish that out.  I would have liked to see what would have happened.  As for my service game, the main point was my serving,  too many double faults.  If we want to win, I have to at least give us a chance to play a point.

In the end, I burned a good 1458 kcals.  I was pushing it as hard as I could.
