Tennis trophy 2004

Got the Third place.

It was definitely a good and tough tournament. A quick summary of it:

First match: The guy I was playing against starts serving awesome, he aced me 2 times in a row the first game, so I kind of figured I was going to have a really tough game. So he won this first game and then I took over. Basically it was the only game that he got the entire match. I dismantled him. Won 6-1 and then 6-0. It’s not that the dude was not good player I just frustrated him from the beginning of the match and like I always say tennis is about 75% mental game. BTW the match lasted an hour.

Second match I was playing against a veteran meaning he applies extreme strategies to his game and he is very precise on his shots. So we started the game 2-2 then he won 5-2. I was like you got to fight Mo, so I came back to 5-5 then lost 7-5. Second set I was up 5-4 serving for the set and I got broke, so off to 6-5 my lead still wasn’t able to close the set so we went to tie-breaker and I lost it. The guy was just playing extremely clean tennis. He must have had like 5 faults the whole game its crazy. I wore him down but his clean tennis was the difference. BTW match lasted 2 hours.

Third match I was pissed off since I lost a very close game so I smoked the guy 6-0 ,6-0. the game was over in 55 minutes. So I guess I’ll settle for the third place. It was a good competitive tournament and definitely I being fit helped me out a lot.

    Nice work on the 3rd place since you really haven’t played much tennis in the last month. I bet you woulda smoked that guy if you had been playing every week.
