My serve! Look out!

2 sets, 2 opponents!

I’m an absolute monster!

My opponents…are left confused and frustrated!

And I’m back!

And on top of the world – still #1 in the local leagues, even though I admit, I’ve been more in the social sphere these days!

Here’s a picture of me and Bono! Bono wasn’t too amused, and I’d had too much schnapps, but he’s nice regardless…

A Great Friendly!

Last Saturday, me and my friend had a stellar match! His consistency is scary, and it was difficult to get anything past him. We ended the set at a 6-6 deadlock. But it was all in good fun, and an all together great match to play.

Back on Track!

Big Win yesterday – 6-2 in just a one-set tuneup. Man oh man, though, I didn’t think I was going to survive – my serve was dogcrap the whole time!

Luckily, a little short/long range topspin shots saved the day for me, plus a propensity for my adversary to smack shit into the net!

This is me and my ladyfriend…enjoying ourselves after our big win.

BECKER LOSES!

Yes folks, it’s a tough day here in Beckerland. I lost my match yesterday, the Canteen championship. No bones about it – everything was off and I just couldn’t get into a rhythm against my nemesis.

But it wouldn’t be fun if I won every match, now would it?

All I have to say is this:

Strive for Five!

5 wins in my last 5 matches! Can you believe it? I used the prince demo racket in this match, and for some reason, my hard spin serve was on fire, rocketing in on most occassions. More than anything, I was happy to play with my good friend.

After an 8-6 grueling first match, I cruised carefully in the 2nd to win 6-3.

The streak continues!

Haven’t played my arch-nemesis in a while, but I did play a mixed singles match last Saturday and took on:

Man, she didn’t have all that much power, but she was running me around like a labrador retriever at the park. It was good though, and I started the arduous process of perfecting my second serve. Fear the spin people!

Oh, here’s a picture of me and my buddy:

Now I’m 4-0, so I say bring it…

Did somebody say 3 and 0?

That’s right dudes and dudettes – I went 3-0 last week against my arch-rival. And my backhand finally showed up at the end – two strong baseline winners with it!

Had a few saves like this one above, and I left my opponent feeling like this:

This guy is a douche!

This guy is a such a boner! And he’s my roommate’s chosen tennis dude. I mean, seriously? Seriously? Let’s just say that this dude (Pat Cash) doesn’t exactly make me (Boris Becker) look like this:

But rather, like this:
