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…
When was the last time you got stung by a BEE?
Well this is how my first match started, I was up 3-0 and I got stung by a bee, let me tell ya that shit hurts 
so I finished the first match 6-2, 7-5. My left hand was numb since I got stung right on my finger. I couldn’t go for so much backhands so I changed my strategy into playing more slice. That got me when I had to play the coach in the Semi-finals. where I lost 4-6, 4-6. I got runner up in the “A”doubles however. Next tourney is in two weeks and my plan is to get on practicing from now.
I forgot to post about my last tourney and the reason is…. IT SUCKED… I was feeling in great shape.. however my game was not there. Oh well it wasn’t my day, none of the shots were going where they supposed to go. I learned from it though and that’s what counts!
Pumped UP!
This tourney I’m playing in the A division. Meaning playing with the big boys! You gotta love challenge, I defended my title 2 championships in a row just to prove it wasn’t a fluke. Now its time to give the big boys a taste of the ACE. As my boss used to refer to me as
It’s all about having good time and kicking butt so I’m just gonna go out there and give it ma best, whatever happens is all good. If you take winning too seriously, you miss out on the fun things in the game itself. My theory is have fun and bring the trophy home!
holla
First let me start by saying that this weekend was awesome! For many reasons…
I went back to Sagnasty for the weekend to play my tennis tourney and see my friends and family. When my friends knew I was coming down, they all got together and threw a pizza-movie night which was cool. My sister cooked some really good food and I was shocked howmuch my neice and nephew misses me. They were fighting over who would get me a glass of water
Tourney time.. AKA the Champ is BACK!
It was an awesome tourney close and tough! My first match was against a Bay City western coach. Who I started by beating him 6-0 , 3-6, 6-4. The match lasted exactly 2 hours. I was so beat and tired..
Then I played against a Swiss exchange student who I made him run like there is no tomorrow, I beat him 6-2, 7-5. After we were done he came and he was like ” Man you made me run a lot”
Final match, As most of you know I don’t have a very good record when it comes to playing against older people. The finalist was about 45 and oh man does he play good tennis or should I say CLEAN as in NO misses. He beat me 3-6 the first set, then I took over 6-4-6-2. The guy was barely moving in the third set because of howmuch running I made him go through. It feels good to defend your title.
Unfortunately the trophies were not ready yet, so I will get mine next tourney.
I also played doubles with Tyler and ended up with a medal for third place.
It’s always good to start the first tournament strong, 9 more to go

Andre Agassi was asked this question, what’s the parallel between tennis and life?
Problem solving, being out there on your own, your not sure if you’re gonna get through or not. Testing your own beliefs , having questions and having to get your own answers. There is no point more important than the next, the more time you spend on the last point, the less chance your giving yourself for the next one.
This is so true and beautiful, that’s why Agassi is my ideal player. Hopefully I can apply his theory this weekend at the tennis tourney at SVSU.
Finally the project is ready for launch. After spending quite sometime working on this project it’s time to unleash it to the public. There you go I have designed a site to teach you and anyone that is interested in learning the game of tennis. I hope you like it and learn from it. Enjoy!
