I don't think it's going to matter much. They're all expecting to play a few tough matches. |
It was a good, solid effort by our team. In fact, both teams played well and had a solid effort. |
Jimmy came to practice Tuesday with a stiff neck so I held him out of Wednesday's match with Riverview (Lemon Bay lost 7-0). He could have played today, but I had plenty of other kids who could play so I decided why take a chance. |
Jimmy has switched from a two-hand backhand to a one-hand backhand and has struggled with that, but is improving. He has also played some very tough competition at No. 1 singles. I think for him (5-8, 140 pounds) it's the right move going to a one-hand backhand because it gives him more mobility and a bigger reach. |
Jimmy is stronger physically than last season, and his serving has improved. Even though his record is about the same as last year, we've played tougher competition this time. |
That was a good match for both teams. It's good tennis all the way through. We need 10 matches like that. |
The kids were really good tonight. That was a good win for us. |
