The last three matches<\/a>, we lost 1-2<\/a>. A few pix on FB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We opted to serve after the warm up. Michael started.<\/p>\n

\n1-3
\n2-4
\n2-5
\n5-5
\n5-7
\n0-1
\n0-2
\n2-2
\n4-3
\n4-4 … then time’s up. A timed match.<\/p>\n

At the last\u00a0game point we had the advantage (the girl was serving). Michael hit a deep shot to the baseline that forced her to react. It’s a pop up
\nabove the net. It didn’t look that it would cross the net. I yelled out ‘bounce’ because Michael has charged the net – at the net. The next thing I knew was our opponents said Mike has crossed the net so it’s their point. I was a little surprised but what they said surprised me even more as Michael was explaining to them that he did not strike the ball:
\n“Let’s not let this to ruin this match .. This match has been a good one .. ”
\nDid they jump to pacify us too quickly?<\/p>\n
