tennis, life and a few things in between

Today is Chinese New Year: the year of monkey. We got snow 瑞雪兆丰年 which means good amen. The match was rather boring, was over in less than an hour. The lady was late and after s few games, she asked if we were married.

Are you kidding? My partner is kind of my son’s age! Well, her partner said its a compliment. Whatever.

I played with my teammates afterward, more competitive. Cunningham is under going renavation. Bathrooms are portable outside. Yucks!

亲们 🐒年快乐. 瑞雪兆丰年 [愉快]. 大年初一 去上班，打第四场：全胜. 除了俺输掉第一次的一个场我们的队一直所向披靡. 不过今天的对手弱 on level, 打起来很没趣. 4-1 换场时 她问 我们是不是夫妇. 开什么玩笑？他跟俺儿子差不多年纪！ 她”哦 对不起 我没有带眼镜” 她的搭档马上说 “就当恭维.” 好嘞[白眼]. 她的孩子只有7岁：所以下次俺没带老花镜看不清时 请别怪我哈. 88二个队长：他们在 dating，每人打比赛都要证实至少二次 = 四次，[晕]. 还有队服. 每次比赛他们都能拉来一班队友助威. 今天临走前，问明晚会不会去练球. 真不知道以前俺是怎么做队长的 （难怪从来没有打进国家级）. 后浪推前浪 [强]

I saw this video as soon as I opened YouTube. I didn’t see this match – odd hours from the down under. So I watched. The quality of the video is excellent. However, it’s in Russian and … as if Maria was dominating.

Just whom do you think you’re kidding?

Serena beat the screaming sugar 18 times in a row. And you don’t show the winners Serena hit one after another? So Putin.

US isn’t perfect but they are the most fair. I’ve never heard one sided comments from the American sport casters. I still remember one tourney I watched in Frankfurt. The English commentator would be silent when Pete Sampras made a great shot, which were often during that match.

The NTC and Mets under the snow.

They’ve similar physique and played a closely contested match. The Chinese team led 5-3 in the second set but lost at 5-7. Their outfits are nice. Two women’s doubles team – One pair has something on their back and the other front. Good match to watch @ Australian Open 2016

She never won a grand slam in her 14 attempts (here US Open in 2009) and was thinking of retirement, hence invited her parents to the party. As it turns out, she keeps on winning. Now into the quarter after beating Keys who’s injured.  Two girls wore the same outfit.

This year’s Aussie Open is the reddest I’ve seen so far. Maybe the Australians love red, down under.

Good lord I just can’t win, losing 4 and 4 as a sub. Artie broke his #8 and #9 ribs on the left three weeks ago and he’s back playing. His doc suggested six weeks of rest.

Court #6 has extra lines which are off putting. It offer video analyzing for $20 per session, I think? Cameras are mounted around the court.

Off the GCP at exit 9 (west bound), it looks like USTA is building another small stadium.

A short hiatus, I’m back at it again, as a player.

It’s rather an eye opening experience because I couldn’t tell it’s a 6.0 league. The level of play is high, no difference from the 7.0. Must be my age, ha ha ha.

Our opepenont have great first serves. At one time, I failed to see her serve coming: she aced. Both guys are first timer. Unfortunately we lost 1 and 4.  Our team took first and second court.

One of the oppenents’ cheerful with big smile… to a point that made me feeling tired: how could anyone muster so much facial muscle for so long?
