A Tennis Victory


WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3-2 and we thought it would be easier! 

I played doubles and we won the first set easily.  But I was not comfortable and couldn’t find a rhythm. In the 2nd set, I was serving for the match 5-3.  I won ALL my service games…but not this one so then it was 5-4, then 5-5.  We led 6-5, then it was 6-6 and we played a tie-breaker and LOST!! PRESSURE!!!!!!! We had to play a 10 pt tie-breaker and luckily we won 10-6 Phew!!! Everyone was cheering at every winning point.  Little did we know, it was because the 2 teams were tied 2-2 and our match was the clincher.   If we had lost, our team would have lost.  I’m glad that I had no idea!!

I called all my friends and my husband who was waiting for me on a Lake George Island with friends. I then headed for Bolton Landing where my husband picked me up with our boat…

It seemed that he told everyone about my match and that I had won…he was happy because he knew that I would be in a terrible mood for the rest of the weekend if I had lost.

When we arrived on the Island, everyone cheered and then they toasted me with champagne!!!

What a great day…

Next my team plays in Sectionals in Syracuse (Aug 20-22)…and then maybe at Nationals in Tucson (who knows??)
