Last month I lamented the fact that Andrew really started kicking my ass at tennis after I returned from summer vacation. Well, in the weeks since that post things had continued to be in the losing column for me with some truly nasty lopsided defeats. The only bright spot was that my backhand was getting more comfortable and consistent.
Last week I had a breakthrough as my service returned to somewhat better consistency and I sprinted to a 3-0 lead in the set. Andrew battled back but I still had some fire for a 5-3 lead. Then I lost 4 straight to lose the set 7-5. So frustrating.
Well last night I continued my strong play and we battled back and forth all game. It was the server's games last night for the first 6 to make it 3-3 and then he broke my service and took a 4-3 lead. Uh oh, I thought, this is where it goes south. But I came back and broke his service and we then battled back and forth to 5-5 and then 6-5. Finally I broke his service again to win the set.
Some victories are better than others, that's for sure.
