Game of Tennis (doubles)

The blog is about my last week tennis game. I played once in week in tennis courts just inside my housing complex. I play there with bunch a people that been playing for a long time and way older than me. I started playing with them about 2 years ago from my uncle that plays with them. When joining them, I had a decent forehand and need much improved backhand and serves (now, I am better due to better technique, practice, and equipped). But still, when it comes to game time, playing with those older guys were never easy. Even though they play each other every week or even twice or more, the idea of loosing is just not there. At first it is all mental, I mostly lost but now it is about half of the time. And every week it is just different, you play with different partner against different opponent. How they react can just get under your skin.

The key for playing double is playing solid and that is the goal, winning comes second. The strategy always comes to who your partner and who are your opponent. Have to understand your partner as well as your opponent. Some like to play two up front or one front-one back. And when it comes to playing double, avoid the net player; go loop when pushed but needs it to be a good one. And one other thing, breathe.

Remember in game of tennis, even the mighty can lost to an inferior opponent even when already leading.
