Since the beginning of school tennis season this year, John and I have grown to love tennis more and more each day. We've been playing for roughly five months now, and it has been great. A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to play in our first tournament, in which we played doubles. Our first round match was awesome, as we got to play another brother team from Timpview High School. As the first set began, we each held our serve through the first rotation, making the score 2-2. However, John and I then broke and held two times in a row as we won the first set 6-2. The second set began, and the same kind of thing happened. When we were up 3-2, however, they broke our service game, tying the set up. We held our heads high through this, and were able to finish the second set 6-3.
The second round did not quite go as well for us. We played two varsity singles players from East High School, who are also brothers. We really couldn't handle the pace of the game, and we went down 1-6, 0-6 to them. They did end up winning the final 6-1, 6-2, so that definitely gave us some reassurance. The results and everything else about the tournament is listed on the page HERE.
Although we didn't win this tournament, it was a great start to tournament play for both of us. We will be continuing to play in tournaments that we can, including one coming up in less than two weeks. Hopefully we can show some improvement in this next one. We will definitely have more posts about these tournaments, and hopefully pictures as well. Thanks for reading everyone!
