Who do you think is going to take the crown of the grand slam in Wimbledon?
I think you gotta give it to the man, Roger Federer. However, I do think Nadal might be the only one to give him problems not because Nadal is any good on the grass but because he does have the mental edge over Roger. Tennis is such a mental game, and it does play an important role come at the end of closing matches.
I found a really good book about tennis strategies and want to share it with you. The name of the site that sells the book is strategic tennis
Mike and I went to Bad Axe and played in their tennis tourney. It was pretty nice having to play different people and different styles, In Singles I lost in the Semi-Finals to a number one singles in Bad Axe high school. Ended up winning the Doubles A division. It was nice to go somewhere other then Saginaw for a change!
First tourney and what a start!
I played the first match against my rival Ryan and beat him 6-1, 6-4 however I pullled my halmstring. I was playing the rest of the tourney with pain, stretching did help a bit though. I ended up losing in the semi-finals to a very good player who ended up winning the whole thing. In the double’s championship Mike and I won the whole thing. It was awesome out 82 degrees. Just beautiful!
GO AGASSI!!
He was down 2 sets and came back to beat James Blake 3 sets in a row. It just shows how the game of tennis is all about adjustments and sticking to the course! Andre Agassi is in the semi-finals!” “
Labor Day Tennis Tourney kicked off this weekend, not the way I expected it to. I got pulled over on my way to the tourney because I was going 67/45. I was a little late to the tourney and the adrenalin was pumping so I didn’t notice how fast I was going. That’s just ridiculous 3 tickets in 2 months. I’m gonna have to start riding my bike everywhere. The good part is that the cop wished me good luck on my match and gave me 10 over.
This is the way to start your day! I ended up wining third place and winning runner up in doubles. However, I was hitting the ball so hard just to get that frustration out of my system and as a result I think I got a tennis elbow now. I might have to take a week off to see how it feels.
I drove home using the cruise control all the way back. I think cops like the color of my car or something!
US OPEN starts today. This is the best time of the year for tennis! I love this tourney for a lot of reasons. One of them is I can actually watch the matches because they are in our time and are broadcasted around 7 or 8 pm. You get to see all the pros at their best and yes I’m voting for my man Agassi. He’s 35 years old which means OLD in tennis. The reason I love to watch him play is for his genius. He understands the game so much, that he in a way teaches you how to handle each point in tennis. It’s a problem solving game, you have to get you’re own answers when you’re on the court. That’s the beauty of the game of tennis!
Finally I beat the Number one player in Alpena today in tennis 6-4! I was up 5-2 and he came back to 5-4 I was serving and I was down 0-40 all he needed was one point to beat me, then I got into the focus mode and won straight points to beat him. After 2 months of trying!
The good part is people at work promised to make me apple pie and strawberry pie if I beat him, so I’m going to be stacking up some gooood stuff
