tennis, life and a few things in between

I’m a little deflated on getting rid of my waiter’s tray when serving. I know all the theory and tried to do the right thing. BUT unable!

Tell me, why do I want to get rid of the waiter’s tray?

The iffy weather ruined our regular lineup. I ended up practiced for an hour then played doubles with Golfer, vs Matt and Sally. We won 6-1 without a double – the third time in a row. But I’m not too happy. I’d rather lose, with doubles but with correctly motion/form!

1. 6-4
2. 3-6, 3-6

In the video, I’ve

• hammer grip
• holding up the racket – salute/birthday hat position
• swing … why do I change back to waiter’s tray?

Waking up not knowing if I’ve a game and where to play. Senior moment. But glad I clear all that up and how up on time.

🎾 6-0, 6-2, no double (w/ Hope & Al; Kurt) – my second game in a row without a double fault; and my first serve % is high [跳跳][玫瑰]… but but but … the waiter’s tray may still be there

A very windy day due to tornado, one other tennis group canceled but we soldiered on. 5-0, 5-4, 2-5. No double fault, which I’m very happy. I thought I did good with hammer BUT the waiter’s tray is still there!!!

• 6-1 w/ Golfer, no double
• 6-0, 6-2, no double

On one of my down the T serve in the second set, even I thought was about to go out but it landed inside – most likely due to the strong wind. Both opponents called it out. Although I protested but I proceeded to take the 2nd serve. One lesson, never call a line before the ball actually landed.

^{my grip – index finger is still apart}  

Played an excellent match today, with Cheri vs Jing and Punny: 6-3, 6-4. All played well and had good time playing it.

I’ve two doubles in the second set. Disgusted! After the game, I videoed my serve and … the waiter’s tray is still there and the grip is still wrong.

A few photos of Federer’s serve – it looks like his index finger is slightly apart also; and the snap.
