I played on Tuesday at Martin Junior High and today (Thursday) at Little Stacy Park. Funny how I barely remember Tuesday's play now. But I do remember that I won one set (don't remember the score or who I played) and then played a bunch of games with other people, both singles and doubles, and one on two. I played from about 5:30 until almost 8.
Tonight I started out playing doubles, and we just went ahead and played a match because the guys playing singles next to us did the same thing. The first set was close at first...we got to 4-4 with each side winning on their serve, and then we broke the other side's serve to get to 5-4. It was my serve the last game, and I won my serve to win the first set 6-4.
Then the second set was more lopsided...we held most points and won 6-1. For a while we then played two-on-one rotating around clockwise every game so everybody got to play every position in both singles and doubles. I won on every side except for one game that B. won at singles.
Then I stuck around to play another set against J. I was playing well and getting everything back and my serve was good too. He was hitting really big but missing some shots. I ended up winning the singles set 6-2.

This blog will, among other things, chronicle my attempts to meet my New Year's resolution of playing 365 sets of tennis in 2007. I did let myself start a little more than a month early. Why? Because I can. And because the thought of averaging a set a day for a year is, um, maybe a little overwhelming. I wanted some leeway to deal with the inevitable injuries, rainouts, cancellations, and so on. I also needed time to ramp up and contact people and get a network of people to play. So I have already started 2007 with 34 sets that I played in late November and December of 2006. Anyway, either way, I did play (and even exceeded) my 365 sets for a year, whether you count it from starting early or or from January 1, 2007.
