BRTA: Monash Uni vs Beaumaris 28-Nov

I had mix feelings and doubts before we started playing Beaumaris again last Sat.  After all, we only managed to take away the ladies doubles from them during our first meet in a 3-setter. And this time as we had Grandpa J again, obviously it is a goner for the mens and one of the [...]

BRTA: Victory Park vs Monash Uni 21-Nov

You know how sometimes when you hatch an “evil plot” and somehow you get “punished” in a certain way for it, well I reckon that’s what we got over the weekend against Victory Park. In our team of 6, there are 2 players (namely one from each sex) who are weaker than the rest. Thus [...]

BRTA: Monash Uni vs Parkdale 14-Nov

And just when you thought you’ve met the top team a couple of weeks ago and it couldn’t get any worse, I were wrong and I would say we were literally trashed just over the weekend. One of the ladies from Glen Huntly already warned us about the ladies from Parkdale and I was more [...]

BRTA: Bentleigh Rec vs Monash Uni 07-Nov

For starters, Saturday’s weather was hot and terrible. I reckon that was kinda like the first hottest feel of the upcoming Summer and I’m not looking forward to the hot 40 over degrees of heat again. The worst part of all was that both of my matches went on to 3 sets and overall I [...]

A feeling of victory…

Last week was the last of the Thursday nights social competition until next year. To be honest I was pretty nervous as I was a couple of points behind Penn and in order to win the whole tournament, I had to win both matches that night.  In the last season, I came in runner-up due [...]

The player, the racket or just another week of bad luck?

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. [...]

Social Comps last night – is it the start of a road to disillusion?

For some funny reason, I wasn’t even looking forward to the social comps last night. I mean “how could I have not when I used to jump at every chance for a hit at tennis?” There was a feeling of disillusion, a feeling of “hack-care” and also the body (or more the legs was shutting [...]

When it rains, it pours… Literally for most of last week

The weather last week was really shitty and grey – its like the gates of heaven suddenly decide to open and down us with showers or the heavy clouds held on too much and needed to explode. That was good for the dams as we need the all the water we can store for Summer, [...]

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 [...]
