Tenacious S

Set 375:

My Mojo: Tentative.

Stuart v. A. at St. Edward's University. Winner: Stuart 6-3.

I played a lot more than just the one set of singles. I showed up for this meetup group, and first warmed up with one guy, and then played doubles with five players where we rotated out one person each game, and then played straight doubles (lost the first one, ended up tied in the second one), and then I played a set of singles with A.

My hitting was tentative and I felt sluggish and unresponsive. I was hitting defensively and catching many of my shots too close to my body for good direction. But toward the end of the singles set I was able to relax a little and get more out of my defensive posture. I also rushed the net a little more, but that didn't work out too great for me as I watched a lot of winners and lob winners fly by me. Still, I managed to bring in enough stuff to win the set, mostly through sheer tenacity.
