Term two Game three, lights out again
So frustrating getting to the end of the games when the lights automatically go out. Especially when it's close game. It gets registered as a draw and it's not very satisfyingDoublefault a journey to the Pan Pacific Masters games 2024

Term Three Game Two, Lights out
A close game but the lights went out at the end because we ran out of time. A draw but I think I was on the losing side of the fenceHi and welcome to Double Fault.

Deuce - new strategy against soft players and a better serve
It's been a holiday week for me so not much tennis. I did play one competition game against a player that hits soft and often long high balls, all things that I have trouble coping with. I won the game but there's definitely room for improvement. On the plus side, a former coach of mine watched me play today and told me my serve is way better than it used to be and has come a long way.Doublefault a journey to the Pan Pacific Masters games 2024
