Tennis 2004: Wins 1

It's been awhile since I've played tennis, but last weekend my regular tennis partner, Alex from Literary Bargainville, and I agreed that we needed to get our regular Sunday matches restarted. So today we hit the court for one set.

The weather couldn't have been better, with just a slight cold breeze to remind you that we're not entirely free from winter quite yet. Both Alex and I are completely out of shape, as we were easily winded after only a couple of games. For the first six games, we each held our serves, than I broke his fourth serve, to which he responded by breaking mine. At 6 all, we agreed to play the set to who could win by two games rather than a tie-breaker. I was able to break his seventh serve and then hold my own to win our first match of the season, 8-6.

I post this here not simply to gloat over him, although such could be construed from this as he is younger than me, but instead to goad us both to play more. We're a fairly even match up, so I'm going to have to stay on top of my game if I'm going to keep my winning record.

Hmmm. It's just that my "power" game takes a little longer to get back into gear, while you're "slice and finesse" game holds up despite long layoffs (or, age, as the case may be -- but we don't need to start down that road yet ... ). Nonetheless, it's great to be back on the court with you and I'll see you Sunday morning for round two!
