I started the game, winning it love, then broke her serve at love too. Matt won his in two deuces, after being 0-40 down. However, after we’ve 4-0, I lost my next serve.

3 serves

The second set: Matt was serving at 5-2 but was unable to close. Serving at 5-4, 40-0, I was thinking happily that I should close it out with a love game. Then someone netted the ball. Luckily, I was able to close it out at 40-30.

A long while ago, Nina asked me to play singles, and because we couldn’t align time, that was it. I see her practice all the time: low and deep forehand. Today, it’s my first time playing her: weak serve and doesn’t move, which isn’t an advantage in a singles game.

… serves fm B – pronate?

… from 3 angles

今天发球不错: 记着球拍要drop low低.

我开局就轻松拿下第一局 at love, 然后又以love game破掉了她的发球局. 下一局需要二个平分赢 0-40. 第四局也轻松赢. 然而,在我们4-0领先之后，我的下一个发球局就被破掉.

第二盘: 我们5-2领先但没能拿下. 我在5-4, 40-0领发球时, 高兴地想着能以love game结束这一盘多好 前后呼应. 结果有人回球下网了. 还好,我最终还是在40-30时赢 拿下第二盘.

很久以前,妮邀请我打单打.因为我们时间不合适;没下文.我经常看到她练习:正手击球又低又深.今天是我第一次和她交手: 发球很弱,而且不动–这在单赛中可不是什么优势.
