Phew!Just came back from a tennis match today,and I would have to say that I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MY PERFORMANCE.Well,It's kind of like my 1st tournament here but yeah,I have to admit,I've got a lot of work to do to be a good ballswatter.
The quality of tennis here is pretty high,not like in the field in Brunei,where you rarely get to see good stuff so yeahh.I would say I'm almost at the bottom of the list.
Ok,cut to the chase:I got into a little trouble with an old guy in a tennis match.If I were on top form,SMACK!SMACK!BANG!BANG! I'd be in and out in less and hour for two sets.But whaddeheck,who says an ol' guy can't match a young kid?My tempo was totally disrupted as his playing style was mostly lobs and slices(the least favourite type I would like to play against).Even my serve had some problems,MAJOR ONES.My statistics are as follows:2 aces(an extremely rare occurence for me,and in my 1st match in Aussie,nice....after all,I just blow the serves,but not to a point where it can't be reached) and over 10 double faults (believe me,this happens when I get an ace in a match,my serve would go all crappy.Btw I calculated my average double faults in a best-of-three match is around 5),and an equal number of winners and unforced errors(Pretty erratic.I don't really make much winners,not like today,just making my opponents get a forced error.As for unforced error,it's totally horrible....).Summary?C.R.A.P
Ah well,to make thing worse,I HAD NO BUS HOME as during the weekends,buses ends at 5.15pm and my match ended 15 minuties later,with me leading 6-4 5-2(We were required to stop playing) so I had to talk a 45 minute walk to the train station(Why trains and no bus?).well,the rest is history.
I'm feeling pretty alright now,but I guess I should relax a little more on my legs and study a lil as I have a Chinese test soon....You guys will know the date on another post in the future.Till then,Sayonara!
