Tennis Tips goes down in the “Saginaw News” as the Sponser of the SVSU Tennis Circuit!
Never thought I would have my own website published in the news or even mentioned!
I guess hard work and good utilization of your work pays off at the end!
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…
The weekend is coming and the tourney is on the way. All I have to say is my game has risen up a tad. I think this toureny is all mine, no messing around this time. I know I’m playing in the A division which is a little tough for me but time has come in my opinion.
“Good things take a while to happen but once they do, they do feel good”
I tried to go golfing this weekend and the key word is “TRY”. Man to say the least, it was interesting! I almost knocked out my buddy on the green, I yelled heads up!! I didn’t expect me getting hold of the ball that good!
It’s funny how some sports are just not your sports, I mean I hit the ball straight like 10 times before I head to the hole but man is golf tough or what? I guess I’ll just stick to tennis!
