So it's technically about tennis, but I thought it would have a better fit here in non tennis. This would be a thread just to post your own personal tennis results as they happen for those of us that play for fun. Yesterday I played a freind of mine that I play the most and I won 5-7, 6-3, 6-1. I was up 4-0 in the first set and then i don't know what happened but after the first set I only faced one break point the rest of the match and I saved it.
I played in our interclub 'pennant' comp yesterday (Divison 2).
Singles:
Slow start, went down 0-3 and 1-4 before fighting back and level at 4-4. Held at 4-5 and again at 5-6, saving two set points. Then I won the tiebreak 7-4 and was very pleased. The guy I was playing kept coming into the net and volleyed well. But his groundstrokes were Sliced forehands galore! (Monica Niculescu anyone?). I dropped serve early in the second but was hanging in there at 2-3. Then, I don't know what happened but I didn't win another game I think he stopped hitting so many errors and I started hitting more. There were 2 games in the 2nd set where I had 15-40 on his serve and failed to break. It was hot and I faded badly. Final score: 7-6 2-6 0-6.
In the doubles, we had another slow start, going down 0-4. I was on a 13-game losing streak! Finally, we found some form and got a couple of games but lost the set 2-6. Then we went up 3-1 in the 2nd only to fade/choke and lost it 4-6. I've lost a bit of form and confidence lately. Not good...
Last time I played a proper set (2008), my friend (club player) was just pushing the ball straight back to me and still won 6-0 :lol:. Got him to deuce a couple of times though, with my baseline-hitting first serves and non-existent movement .
Now I'm 17 (18 in July) and I'm 1,94 but I stopped growing when I was 16
I'm so tall so I have to play agrresive (many winners, aces) but still many Unforced
And my today result: 6/7(14) 6/2 6/1 in first set I waste like 10 SP's :lol:
18 aces, 7 DF's
2nd and 3rd set were under my control
Today two matches: 6/0 6/1 and 6/4 6/3
%1st serve in: 76% win after 1st serve: 94% after 2nd serve: 60%
Aces: 24 DF's: 7
opponents had no chance to break me :lol:
Yesterday I lost against him on Clay, 36 64 64.
Lead 63 31 And *43
Really scrappy match full of UE/DF.
I didn't have much winners, but I had this really beauty fh return winner which was faster than the serve
But other than that it was a really bad match
Oh and I had 1 Ace, a second serve ace (because im a lefty) i served/sliced it down the T on the Deuce side and helped by the line and the spin it spun away from my couz.
It was kinda like this. (But only helped by the line)
Won 7-5 6-1 6-4 today, my opponent became a nuisance in the second set, continually throwing his racquet.
I got zero aces which is unusual, but my first serve was over 70% and I think I hit a few 200 KPH plus first serves too! So extremely happy with my game

I love it when my opponents do that. Just this morning, I played a guy who did it a couple of times, and I wound up beating him 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. I was down 0-2 in both the second and third sets, I came back, he got frustrated and tried to hit big (forgetting that he smoked me in the first by giving me junk), I executed my shots, game, set, match.
Yesterday I also won 26 64 64 :lol:
I had 0 aces like usual, my winners were not that great. Very sloppy match actually.
Got angry so much, one time i just because BBB and ballbashed every shot and we ended up losing the ball. But eventually I won it on a let court
Two scores after easter : 6/1 6/0 and 6/4 6/7(4) 7/5
first one was very quick less then hour but second one was a marathon 3h50min so many games so I served 37 aces ^^ mainly cause we had many deuces xP
I was playing a tournament interstate last week and made the SF the best match was my QF. Was down 2-6 3*-4 30-40 missed an absolute sitter of a volley my opponent was off-court I just needed to put my racquet out and it would have gone in and I would have won the point I don't know what I did but I some how missed the volley and raged :lol: cracked my racquet. With new racquet and down 3-5* I hit 4 return of serve winners to brake back and form then on played amazing winning 2-6 7-5 6-1. Then I lost the SF 4-6 4-6.
Played 3 sets today. Opponent was a retriever and counterpuncher. I squeaked out the first set by breaking in the last game for 6-4. My opponent took the second, 6-4. Then I broke and held to open the third. Then, serving at 2-1, 40-30, I hit a shot that bounced on the net cord and fell over, landing on the line. I was standing 10 feet away, just on the other side of the net. I had a perfect view of it. My opponent LIED through his teeth and pointed at a mark 5 feet away from the place where it landed, and said it was out. Opponent went on to break me that game, tying the score at 2-2. Unfortunately for him, he also enraged me, and I used my anger to my advantage, refusing to be broken again and finally winning the match at 13-11 in the third set. (We don't play tiebreakers.)
