Tourney Recap

Posted by Mo | General, Sports, Tennis | Sunday 7 August 2005 10:02 pm

This tennis tournament was called ” Tennis Tips . Net Tourney”! So I had to play my best tennis since it’s in a way ma house!!

I started the tourney facing a dude that plays weird looking tennis, he was lobbing each ball. Which really pissed me off at the beginning cause no one ever plays like this, so I decided to play his game and I won the first set 7-6(6), I decided if he wants to play this game I’ll make his ass run so much so he would dread doing that, sure enough the second set I was up 4-1 and he came and retired, He was like ” Hey man I can’t go no more”! Oh ya don’t mess with me dawg ;)

Second match I won 6-1, 6-2. Guess who I am playing in the semi-finals, yup the coach! Well we had to play our semi-finals match at 6 pm, after we played the doubles matches in which I won the “mixed doubles championship”. So after about 8 hours of playing in the heat, I had to face the coach.

The first set he beats me 4-6 and then I came back to beat him 6-2 in the second. The third started and I was playing very good tennis, however when I was running for a drop shot both of my calves cramped and I almost fell. I stood up and said to myself you aint giving up buddy. I was playing so good and on my way to beat him, then when I was serving my arm/hand cramped. I couldn’t move my grip from the racquet. As if the racquet was glued to my hand! At that point I knew my muscles had enough of heat. Even though I drank through out of the day 7 Gatorades and 1.5 L of water and ate 4 bananas. I guess not enough salt in my body or something. So it sucked but I had to retire and give him the game.

This is my first time ever retiring from a match! Cardio wise I wasn’t tired, it’s just the muscles couldn’t take the stress and the heat! That sucked cuz I wanted to win that so bad. I was so focused that I couldn’t hear or see anyone but the coach and the ball! Oh well things happen…
