tennis, life and a few things in between

The Color Purple was Steven Spielberg (1946-) movie, came out in 1985. This year at the Open, purple seems the color many players are wearing.

Y-3, which is part of Adidas, is sporting by many players.

• Taylor Townsend lost to Barbora Krejcikova in 3, after dominating the first set.
• Taylor Fritz def Tomas Machac easily in 3
• Jiri Lehecka d Adrian Mannarine in 4 set.
• Jessica Pegual d Ann Li in 2
• Elena Rybakina Marketa Vondrousova

The French player Mannarine advanced to the Round of 16 when Ben Shelton retired on Aug 29, last Friday.

^{pronate, only in practice}

No doubt on court condition (no rain in the past few hours) but a messed up line up begins the day. After swim, I spotted Graham, who’s getting out of his car. Oh … now we’ve five players.

With Graham, we dished out a bagel to G and Sally.

With Hope, we won 7-6 ^7:5 v two Gs.

With Randi, we won 6-3, 7-6 ^7-5. v Punni and Graham, who’s still in the cloud.

I’ve an unbelievably large number of double faults, both over- and underhand. No one held their serve for the first four games in the first set. My single-handed backhand cross-court drop shot by the net won the tie break, finally, especially in light of my drop shots not working for the past few days.

… lost my serve

Victoria Mboko (2006.8.26-; ? $1,256,948) is heavily touted on women’s tour lately, rising from 300+ to seeded 22 player at US Open 2025.

She wore a red outfit that looks smarshingly smart and beaufiul. However, she didn’t play well …

I’m happy that Barbora Krejcikova has won. The match looks lame, no fighting spirit – perhaps not needed: Mboko has double digit double faults.

An orange red sky: beautiful!

Tennis 6-1, 3-6.

My dropshots didn’t work well today. So Jing said, “I love your forehand!” How nice she put it that way -:)

我今天的吊球打得不好 十有九误. 所以搭档说: “我好喜欢你的正手,很棒.”  碰上会说话的娃 -:)  不过王婆的正手真心不错.

这几天阴雨连绵 就差撑舟出征了  一大早 橙红的天  打完后又碰到鹤妈遛娃

My serve still has the waiters tray

Seeing four sandhill cranes today

The day starts out nice. I see the sandhill cranes by the pond, again. Then there is a raibow.

Then came the rain. Drizzle first. Raindrops. Then the downpour.

🎾 1-6, 4-3 w/ a break

From rainbow to downpour
从彩虹到倾盆大雨
彻底灭了继续的幻想

第一局差点被鸡蛋了.
今天准备齐全 不过腕带令到胳膊骤短
没啥空间可言了

Friday laugh
