The first of Many!

What up y’all?  I’m a hot-to-trot tennis freak, and I figured I should start this blog to brag to my fellow tennis-teamers about how bad I smoked my roommate in tennis the past 2 times. 

 I’ve been on a big cold streak, coming off a slow start this season, but I think I’m finally getting my groundstroke (up on the downstroke) going, so now it’s time to brag to Chad, Thad, Nate and Steve.  But the past two days, man, I’ve been like this:

Meanwhile, my roommate, who had a lot of unforced errors, but battled on through almost 16 deuces, was left feeling like this:

A great match all together.

 As you’ll see me start doing more and more:

Positives:

Great inside to outside forehand

Consistent two-handed backhand

Strong footwork

Good shot choice and placement

Excellent exploitation of weaknesses

Negatives:

Where is my serve? 

Save placements – move away from his forehand
