Ah, the Tennis season is soon coming to a close. Perhaps one or two more weeks left depending on weather.
This year has been better than last year for me:
- Last year I won 3 full sets and 2 mini-sets out of 28 (20 full, 8 mini) and in total games Andrew won 136 to my 90, meaning he won 1.51 games for every 1 that I did.
- This year I only won 3 full sets (out of 19) again and only 3 mini-sets (out of 9) but the difference has been in how close those sets have been. I total games Andrew stands at 133 to my 99, a ratio improvement to 1.34 games for every 1 that I win.
- In 2008 we had 3 sets go to seven games to win, in 2009 we had 6.
- In 2008 the running ratio low point was 1.38 in mid July, in 2009 it got down to 1.25 my late July.
August was not kind to me this year and was responsible for the rise in my game ratio. It seems my two week vacation really took my stride off and I failed to really get it back until recently.
Hopefully next year I can improve some more and get closer to parity with Andrew.
I think that your fitness level this year has been much higher than it was at any point last year.
ReplyDeleteOne of our longer rallys last night really illustrated how much better you are at motoring around the court.
