Today, I played my third match of this tennis season. Once again, I was partnered up with Tatiana Zeller, who has been my double's partner in all practices and matches so far. This match was against West Nairobi School who we previously played about a month ago. As I recall, the last match I played against students from this school was not very interesting and for this reason, I went into this match with a very pessimistic attitude. Although I played against different people this time around, I was expecting it to be an extremely easy game and just as dry as the previous one.
As soon as the game began, I realized that I had made a wrong prediction. The players were at a much higher level than the previous matches' ones, and they made us work really hard to win points. Although we won this game with a score of 6-0 (the same score as the previous game), both Tatiana and I were satisfied by the end of it and felt as though we had actually been challenged, making the win that much more rewarding. One of my goals for the tennis season is to improve my service game and I was extremely proud of my improvement in this area today as I managed to serve a couple of aces. In general, my serves are much faster than they used to be and much more accurate, seeing as I only had 1 or 2 faults in the entire game. I hope that this improvement continues to happen and that I win all the service games in my next match.
