The Russians Are Coming

Few opponents I’ve had recently were Russians. I can’t describe it in words but I could feel it. They just looked the part. The girl I played last night was a Division I player who still looks like a college kid. I told her so and she was very flattered. Did I forget my 老花镜 again? I was bewildered that a young woman wants to look younger. When I was at her age, I wanted to be older!
When I was teen .. I wanted to be 18, thinking how cool
When I was 18, I couldn’t wait to be 20 ..
When I was 20, I thought 30 is it ..
When I was 30, 40 looked delicious ..
Now I’m 50, not sure I wanted to be 60 -:)
..
Back to tennis. The kid served me a bagel. She attended Michigan State because all the good players have gone to Uni of Michigan and the State desperately needed a decent players for its tennis team. So they import talents, as long as US still holds and cloud.
