The Champ is back!

Unleash the passion for Victory.

Time has come, and the champ had to deliver. I played excellent, had my serve broken about 4 times the whole tournament. I won the trophy for the singles division which consisted of 16 players in that division, and won the bronze for doubles division. It was so humid and hot on Saturday that on my last match I started getting cramps. I played over 4 matches in the heat. I guess my body needed some sodium. The last doubles match I was playing while I was facing cramps in my thigh and hamstring. We won the first set, then I told my partner Tyler, “You have to pick it up, because I’m having cramps”. We lost the second set and we went to tie-breaker in the third, in which I was really hurt I took 2 time-outs for injury time.

The guy that we were playing in the doubles hit his partner’s racquet while he was serving which caused the racquet to fly up in the air, we couldn’t help it but laugh. Well guess what, I got cramps right in my ribs cause I was laughing so hard. We end up losing the match in the tie-breaker 7-5. Just by 2 points oh well we got the bronze. This was the first time in which I got cramps and kept on playing through the pain. It would’ve been a lot more fun if we’ve beaten those guys. No pain no gain. Overall it was a good tournament.

    You played with Tyler Stricker? That’s pretty cool though, he’s a really good doubles partner and a solid net player. Good job with the victories.
