We were expected to win but came in second.  The second match Kai and I were playing a couple.  The wife has heavy spins and the husband was good too.  It&#8217;s evenly matches.  They were leading lightly then we caught up once we or I got use to their spins.  I lost my serve at 5-3.  The husband held his, 5-4. .. Nearing the end (each match allotted 40 min), we were leading 7-5 when Kai called one of opponent&#8217;s lob OUT, which was very long.<br \/>\n&#8220;You can&#8217;t call my ball out when it&#8217;s still in the air.&#8221;  The husband complaint.<br \/>\nKai went to the net and began to explain.<br \/>\nI felt it&#8217;s unnecessary: I&#8217;ve been hitting a lot of out balls due to laziness and or misjudgement.  So his <em>out<\/em> call really meant &#8211; pls don&#8217;t hit.  Maybe <em>bounce<\/em> would be better here.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a good point to remember: call it <em>bounce<\/em> instead <em>out<\/em>.<br \/>\nThen the husband moved on to interference issue.  I felt that he&#8217;s picking bones among eggs.  The ball is on our court .. !<br \/>\nIn any case, time&#8217;s up.<br \/>\nMore pix in the gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three matches among 4 teams in two hours, first to win 8 games by two, no deuce.
