A double winning day:<\/p>\n

🔢 Tony & I def Matt & Jay, 7-6 7-3<\/sup>
\n🔢 Edwin & he def Dave L & Denny 6-0, 6-0<\/p>\n

30 minutes before the start, Coach<\/a> is waiting for his new students, and asks me if I’d like to hit. I declined because I wanted to practice a few serves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the match, keeping in mind his pointers from yesterday<\/a>, I checked my backhand’s ‘bevel 2’ … but unable to see if I’m holding it correctly.<\/p>\n

… my left arm<\/a> is lazy, not just in pickleball<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tony and I<\/a> (again) were leading, 3-0, then I lost my serve. It became a close game. I was serving 6-5, 40-30. We missed a few sitters in the game (quite a few in the set) and went to a tie-break. We lost two points right off the bat but were able to take back the tiebreaker, a point at a time. At 5-2, I called a deep baseline shot out, but Tony said it was good – a reversal. Eventually, we closed it out 7-3.<\/p>\n

During a game, Matt called let on his own serve, took my winning scoop drop shot away. Coach was nearby, so we asked him, who said, “Anyone can call the let.” AI confirms it.<\/p>\n
