Senior Season--Tennis

So far my senior season of tennis is going really well. I have mixed feeling though, in the past 3 years i have always been 2nd or 3rd singles and just waiting for when i was a senior because Laura was going to graduate and allow me to be first singles. But this year we have 2 new really good freshmen making me be third singles. My goal for this season was to be number one. That is not going to be the case. I just have to look at the good side which is this means the team will be in a really good position for the next 4 years while we have 2 good first and second players. Also with me being 3rd singles this means that I will most likely be able to win more games, I will feel better about my self if I am wining more games.

I am preserving in my activities because this is my fourth season of tennis, and even though i did not get the spot that i wanted i will continue to play.

I am also developing new skills because in practice each day I am learning new things.

Were going to STATES!!!!!!

this was a good week in tennis, we found out that were going to states!!! which is really exciting. we made it to states with 2 or three more matches to play which mean if we win those matches we have a chance of going onto the second round which would be AMAZING!!! we are the second girls team to make it (girls soccer was the first-that was fun also) now tennis!

4 because I'm on a team so i have to be working together with others

5 because this season I've been really stressed out with school and i have been thinking of dropping tennis to give me some more time, but i keep going back to it, because its fun and i enjoy it so its showing my commitment to my team!

This was our first week of practice, it went pretty well. I was only able to go to 2 of the practices though because i was sick for the first 2 days of the week and there was no practice on Thursday. But the other two days went really well, I did a lot better than i thought that i would saying that i haven't played since last season. I did wish that i did better on Friday because we are starting to figure out who is going to play where so we were having little matches, and i lost both of mine and i should have been able to win at least one. But it was my fault that morning i had forgotten to pack my tennis shoes, so i was wearing somebody elses that were way too small so i also got blisters on both of my feet. but they will go away by monday and hopefully i can play her again and beat her.

this was my second week of tennis, and last week i was not able to go to all of the practices because i was still sick but i'm feeling better now. well kind of anyway, so i hope that i will be able to go to more of the practices next week. but on friday i played a match against thrid singles player and i beat her, it was fun. i haven't really played for real since last season.

This was a good week in tennis also. we had our first match on Wednesday and I won, our team won also. I had to go to three sets, I won the first one 6-1 lost the second one 4-6 and then won the last one 6-2. It was a good game! I am looking forward to practice on Monday again.

This was an ok week at tennis. just ok because we had a match and i won the game for the team which was really fun. but it wasn't so good because I hurt my ankle while playing. I had to finish the match because we needed to win the match.

last week was good at tennis. We played chatam. the whole team won but me. but i could have beat the girl that i was playing, but also chatam cheated. they played switched their first and second singles players to with the second singles (me) and then hopefully win the two doubles. the only thing that went according to plan was beating me, which i guess in the long run is a good thing. we might be going to states also which is really exciting! we just have to keep at 500 for the rest of the season which look possible!!!
