Tennis - August 30th, 2008

Another clear cool morning for tennis. Played with ds, again, and we're both better than last time. But soon tennis season will be over, our rainy fall and winter are almost upon us. So then it'll be back to the climbing gym.

Tennis, August 2nd, 2008

Today it was just ds and myself out playing tennis. Just over an hour this afternoon (after having some of my brother's birthday cake, that is).

Great game, lots of long volleys and more than one spectacular serve by ds!

Tennis again with our friends, but for over 90 minutes this time.

In the singles, my friend and I played a real game - a series of real games, that is - and it was a lot of fun. He ended up beating me, 6 games to 5, but I really enjoyed it. I look forward to the rematch!

Tennis - July 19th, 2008

Played tennis - mixed doubles and singles - for about an hour this morning.

My girlfriend and I met a couple of friends of ours at the public courts by the local elementary school. There are two courts and one was already in use so we played doubles for about 30 minutes. Couples, battle of the sexes and partner swapping.

Then the other players left and we split into singles. My friend and I are pretty well matched, we can get a good long volley going and sometimes we're even whacking the ball back and forth from the baselines.

Gorgeous day - and we went early enough that it wasn't too hot yet plus there was intermittent cloud cover.
