6-4, 6-1, 3-6: one ace (on a 2nd serve to the deuce court alley) and two doubles.
Why fix it if it ain’t broke?
Don’t know… maybe trying to better myself? The road is long and progress is slow. But I’m still trying, even the waiter’s tray is still there.
Why fix it if it ain’t broke?… 可以解释为 别多手 或者 没坏就不要修…
本来可以靠发球赢很多. 现在一心想改进 结果失误太多
今天又有二个double
(不过也一个ace …)
… 一根筋 继续改进 虽没啥长进

Although David G and I lost to Dave H and Cheri 5-7, 4-6 and 6-7 (5:7), down to the wire, but I picked up one good advise on serving: the grip – holding it like a hammer.
Again, I practiced serving before and during the game; and working on forehand as well. Served an ace on my 2nd serve, and 4 doubles.
… waiter’s tray is still so prominent …
My forehand has been working for me pretty good lately, but not all I do is correct. Improvement is in store for me.
Still working on my serve. Today, I practiced with my leg work. Although lost 4-6 and 1-6 with one double, I’m pretty happy. The stop and the waiter’s tray will be next.
A temp player, high school coach Sherri joined us. David and I lost 4-6, and she suggested battle of sexes. Unfortunately, we lost 1-6 to the boys, even there were many deuces, but we came up short. Over all a very good match.
4-6, 1-6, one double – why did I stop, and the tray [捂脸]

新的一星期快乐
Teaming up with my twin bro, we won 7-5 and 6-4. The first set we came back from 0-3 down. We usually do well when we aren’t wearing black
My serve is getting a little better, def needs more work: I had a double.
I videoed myself, to see how my other forms are doing … all need improvement, oh well.
… some hitting after the game
Continuously, I’m working on my serve: keep left arm up, getting rid of the waiter’s tray. After posting my videos Senior Tennis Tips, many players provided good feedbacks, thank you all.
Last Saturday I teamed up with Tony played David and Jay: 1-6 and 7-5. It was an awesome game. Today, David and I lost 3-6, 4-6 to Edwin and Pu, also a very good match.
It’s a glorious day for tennis.
Better yet, I won all my three sets with three guys. We played at vl.
… perhaps because I wear my dive shop’s t shirt – how do I look? -:)
It’s the Thanksgiving Day, and I’m thankful for my family and friends and foes in my life, and an interesting life I lead so far.
I started my day with a warm up swim, then tennis, pickleball, and capped the morning with another short swim – static stretching. I know the verdict (if the static stretching after a game is good or suitable …) is out there, and swimming is certainly NOT static stretching, but I like to do it, to relax.
Tennis:
I’m still trying to correct my serve: to keep my left tossing arm high longer and eliminate waiter’s tray (why is waiter’s tray no good?)
Two double faults in my first serve game – I didn’t practice much in between matches – my bad. Bad line calls one after another; one of the opponents said he can bagel me. I replied, “not off me.” I thought I was going to have a relaxed game on a holiday, but it turned out not to be the case. So I reverted back to my waiter’s tray serve. We lost 4-5, 5-3, 4-5 (first to five and 1 point decides a game – no deuce).
Pickleball:
Played with a new group of players. The best player (3.5 – apparently there is a rating in pb? ) in the group teamed herself up with her husband who’s equally good, vs me and one guy who’s also a newbie. The couple has been playing for more than three years. I’d think they would split up to make the game more interesting, which is the way I would have done. Oh well. We lost 2-11.
After a couple of rainy days, we’ve a blue clear skies. However, the 4th didn’t show up till I was about to leave.
We all played well. I’m pleased with myself.
The three of us played five rounds of Canadian. I won 3 singles and lost two. The two gentlemen didn’t win any singles. I made short video before the game: still trying to improve, with my toss and make sure my left arm is up …
Still working on my serve: I shared this video, soliciting for critics. The first comment mentioned grip, waiter’s tray, which is very prominent – this will be my next project – getting rid of this tray.
Charles Krug’s Generations 2016 is yummy.
The first party at someone’s – the hosts are gracious. It was fun.
It’s not shocking but amusing to watch the relationship between people and food. I hosted enough parties to know …
You would think that people who loves to eat, and eat like xxx would restrain themselves somehow … But many times it wouldn’t be the case. They forego the dessert plate – small, and pile up high with sweets in the large plate that used for main course. They leave used tableware and cups/glasses everywhere, as if they’ve maid at home who picks them up all the time.
