I would like to say BUT!!!

Big 6' 10" Dan and I won our match in a 10-7 tie breaker.  We lost the first set 4-6 but came back with a 6-3 win in set 2.  I would like to say I have match tie breakers figured out but that would be a lie.  I still think there is some luck, some skill and experience entered in as well.  Our pro says one needs mental toughness and perhaps I can claim that but I think that too would be not so true!  I will not argue with my match tie breakers this season and I have NO explanation for the success.  In my league I am 3-0 and in the 70+ over 3-0 as well.  I gues that comes to 6-0 in match tie breakers and I maybe should not say anything as the luck/skill may change.  Over all in the two leagues I am 7-2 so I am happy but I am not saying the odds will not even out!  Today we play a tought match and it could go either way on any of the courts.  It should be fun.  Yesterday Dan and I traded off in the first set.  If I made a good shot he would make an unforced error.  If he made a good shot I would make an unforced error!  It was satisfying to finally get it together for the win.

I was spent after out match yesterday.  I assume I will feel the same way today win or lose.  I am putting myself on court 3 this morning.  I had a miserable night last night and just do not feel up to 100% so I think court 3 is a better place for me today.  I thought about scratching myself and getting a replacement but I rode over to the courts this morning and seem to be feeling kind of OK.  The temp during our match yesterday was near 88 and today it is supposed to be 83 at court time so perhaps the weather has something to do with not feeling all that great.  Then Terry and I have the Villa picnic tomorrow with the brats and burgers on us.  It should be good but I may collapse as the party ends!!!

I do not know why but it seems I spent way too much energy on these things and then when they are finished I am spent.  Is that the way life is supposed to be?

I did have a great breakfast.  I had made 2 pounds of sausage paddies a few days ago and froze them so had one with two eggs this morning.  Maybe it will carry me to victory today!  If Ron and I win great and if Country Creek wins hats off to them.

Enough for this morning.  I did have my Kona FP and maybe, just maybe that will carry me through to a win on court 3.  Well of course I know Kona Coffee has nothing to do with playing good tennis BUT then who knows?
