Stuart v. C. and two other guys. Winner: S. 5-0, and various two out of three mini-matches.
Ok, there was really no money involved. But if there had been, it would have been easy money. I played a guy who was really rusty and not nearly as good as I am. I beat him easily and ran him around the court probably a little too much. He begged off after the fifth game and just about that time, two guys who looked about college age showed up. I offered to play them alternating two out of three mini-sets for king of the court. I won all those matches, too.
One of the guys had pretty good topspin but not much control over the ball. The other had a wicked extreme-angle serve that he also didn't have much control over. I won most of the little sets easily, but they each won a game occasionally. Of course, I don't get to count any of it here, because we didn't play any full sets.

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.
