A New Year's Serve

[10splayer]

Report: Tennis Social

First match: There is a lefty on the other side but if you hit to his backhand you will be all right. Me and my partner are ahead 5-0 with my partner serving. He is such a dingbat that he doesn't realize he just held to win the set. So we play on and lose the game. "Well, it's Christmas," I think. 6-1 .

Second match with different players: We lose the first set 6-2 but are up 4-0 in the second when the switch occurs.

Third match: Sarah, the organizer, has put me with three young Turks, all of about the age and ability of don_budge. One of our opponents has a 120 mph serve. And my partner is someone I have not played with in three years. In silence, he drifted over to steal one of my shots, crowding my forehand in the process so that I hit myself in the head and drove myself to the hospital to be re-glued. (Much to the consternation of the indoors club since it is supposed to concern itself with the subject of concussion-- so they gave me a free ticket to something sort of like PR for preventative litigation.)

This is the first time since then that Don (his true name) and I have played together. "Mine!" he frequently calls out. I go for a wild poach at the net but can't get to it and keep going to deuce side of court. "Why didn't you stay?" he asks. "I thought I could make it. I couldn't." "But why didn't you stay where you were." "I was going too fast. Sorry but I disagree."

Our opponents look bemused. "Contention within our ranks," I tell them.

First it's 1-1, then 2-2. "Nice hold," Don says.

Then the shit hits the fan. I chip the fast serve back for two winners, but have yet to return to this dude from my forehand.

And I am tired, especially from the physical therapy in the morning. 6-2 .

You hit yourself in the head??? I'm no expert, but wouldn't that represent some severe motor skill issues? Let me guess... did the "on call" doctor also order a battery of psychological test following the admittance interview?

Good but a vague reference. And generally speaking, a bad idea.

Report

Played doubles yesterday. Decided to try what my physical therapist tells me when I'm supine on her table for sciatica. "As you do that, keep your lower back flat against the table." Well, I didn't have a table with me but tried what she said anyway. And immediately hit some extra hard forehands. Could this be a 103-year-old Aunt Frieda's "stupid little thing that might make a big difference?"

No, that's probably funny about the tambourine.

It was. I did have a chuckle.
