This afternoon we have a friendly game at Rivervale Crescent. Basically we gather 2 pairs of players from Bishan Loft and Rivervale Crescent each, and play one another in a round-robin way.
The game started at 3pm, the sun was not scorching, in fact it was a bit cloudy, but still bright and warm, and most of the time I had to serve into the sun and that was not pleasant. I was partnering Lot, and both of us were wearing the orange colour Adidas YOC T-shirt! The game went on rather well, we won the first game through tie breaker. Second game was a bit of disaster because I lost the second serving game through 3 double fault, and sending a couple of easy forehand long.
I guess I need to play more serious game to be more comfortable with match play. It is all about mental and focus. I will also need to work on my serve to be more effective. If not for Lot’s help on Wednesday to correct some of my key serving mistake, I might not have won any serving game today.

well, take it a step at a time.
I think the people are quite near to our standards so we can really learn and also experience what we can do.
We can’t play like atp players so we need to maxmise our strengths all the time..

Agreed that our standard was near, and that’s reflected in the score line too. Playing more will certainly raise our game.
But somehow i felt that serving into the sun forced me to look straight at the ball and thus have better contact, so irony. LOL
