First Major Tournament Win!

As you know I am playing on my sub-division doubles tennis team. Sunday I played my third match; the previous two matches were close (sort of) but my partner and I came in second place. But this Sunday it was different - we pulled out a tough three set match!

The first set went to a tie breaker - we won 7-5, we lost the second set 4-6, but we came back and won the third set 6-4 to win the match!

The other team had a guy who I guess is in his late thirties who was inexperienced like I am, BUT, they also had a wily, crafty, experienced, veteran who kept them in the game. He played the angles superbly and had a great strategy.

Here's a picture of the crafty old veteran; after the game as he was taking off his arm brace and his two leg braces, he congratulated me on playing a good match. He went on to tell me he is 72 years and although he would love to stick around to watch the other matches he couldn't - because later that afternoon he was having outpatient surgery to remove his two cataracts.
