Last night was really one night I got so infuriated at Social Tennis. The initial arrangment was for a singles match between Penn and I and a doubles match between me and someone else I can’t remember. For some funny reason The Coach doesn’t like pairing Yong and I together and I probably understand the [...]

BRTA: Monash Uni vs Glen Huntly 24-Oct

That day had gotta be one of the most atrocious scores we had – or more likely those who partnered me had. If you recall just the couple of days before, I had a really bad night at the social comps and had somehow lost the feeling and excitement of playing tennis prior to that. [...]

New Racket & Accessories and an awesome news!

Yesterday Yong and I had to go back to SportsMart in Moorabin because I had to return the demo racket. I was in no minds at all during the journey about getting a new racket there and then. Oh I and forgot to mention, when I was there the last week, there was this sales [...]
