How do you like my matching blue nail polish?
I played the second round REALLY well… but lost to Joe and Tiffany, coming in second.
Don’t know who has offended the weather god, but our tournaments are often affected by bad weather. This time is scheduled on Thursday, with the final on Friday.
Thursday was a nasty day: rainy, windy, and cold. … and Sandy’s girls are leaving on Saturday morning. (Thanks to Sandy, her friends enabled us to have a true mixed doubles tourney.) So, 11 teams in all, first to 10 pro set. Dave L and I are one of three byes.
- v. Joel & Christine: 10-2
- v. Felix & Julie: 10-5
- v. Joe & Tiffany: 5-10
One of our first-round opponents decided on an hour break, which is unheard of. We never explicitly state the time between rounds, with the understanding that recovery time is no more than 10 minutes. In short, we started late. But they were easy to deal with. At 7-0, he called a on-the-line shot out, which gave them a game. Oh well.
The second set was a real competition. I was the weakest link, getting all the shots. For once, I held my own. It was a tight, thrilling game until 5-5.
In the third round, which is the final, we lost clearly. Tiffany is definitely at a higher level: good 10 years younger, and doesn’t miss anything … They had two byes and watched us battle in the second round.
… no improvement in serving

第二盘俺打得非常好
搭档也棒
因俺最弱所以啥球都是俺的事儿 [偷笑]
第三盘 大妈已经半残
对手女漂亮+球技好
我们打第二盘时他们一直在看 (第一对奇葩 要回家一小时 所以我们开始的晚.)
不是找借口 只是打的不够好
和教练说 下次要把休息时间写清楚 最多15分钟. 没写是大家都很合作. 虽然是亡羊补牢 但奇葩/不法会令到规章制度更健全 [好的]
周末快乐
