Tennis Tournament

I signed up to be in the Sata Tournament at Gold River Raquet Club.You have to pay $20.00 to enter.I first played Yoshi on the first round.He is a very aggressive player but he made mistakes like hitting the tennis ball to far or the tennis racket face was open.I beat him.The score was 6-4,3-6,6-4.Then I played Owen.He is kind of forgetful of what the score is.He plays really consistantly but people can do winner shots on him eaisly.I beat him.The score was 5-7,6-3,6-4.Then I played Sebastion.He is a very aggressive player that is a lot more consistant than Yoshi.Sebastion is also very forgetful like Owen.He won me.The score was 7-5,3-6,4-6.I coincedently got three second place trophies in a row.I never won a winner trophy.

Tennis Lessons

This Saturday I had tennis lessons starting from 9-10 o'clock.The person coaching me was Doug Atkinson.He first told me to run 3laps.Then I had to jump rope.Later he had to see how we hit our backhand and forehand.I had more trouble on the forehand than backhand.I had to change my serve,forehand,and backhand.I had to change my grip from western to continental grip.Then I learned how to put top spin on my backhand.I also changed the way of hitting my forehand because I did it wrong.That was about all I learned.Doug Atkinson is a great coach.
