Sets 483-485:
Stuart v. E. at Pharr. Winner: Stuart 6-2.
Trying again to come back from my stupid injury. It's not a really bad injury; just a bad bone bruise to the back of my patella, but it is taking forever to heal. And once again, I can tell that it's not fully healed yet. Crap.
Good news, though. My daughter had quit playing tennis about two years ago, and she wanted to play a set with me! She is thinking about joining her junior high tennis team and wants to play some before playing competitively again. Though the score was lopsided, and I won by a large margin, she is definitely a monster-in-waiting. Once she gets her form back, she will probably kill me. I could tell by the great posture she had, and the killer shots that she got on me that were really well-positioned. For the first time in two years that she has played, not bad at all. I mean, she has a different body now; she was 11 when she quit, and now she is 13. And her shots that used to be well-controlled are now erratic sometimes, but I bet with about two weeks of solid practice, she will be back to where she was.
Stuart v. H. at Pharr. Winner: H. 6-2, 7-5.
After my daughter and I played a set, this guy came up to see if I wanted to play. Since I still had the court for another hour, I was happy to pick up another couple sets. Now this was where my rustiness came through. I was not getting it together well at all in the first set. I think the games were closer than the score reflected, but I was a little off on just about every variable. In the second set, I started sharpening my pencil a little, but still could not deal a decisive hand. I was just happy to play after being off for so long.
