3rd Dec 2004 Game - Stanley & Daris

Last friday I played tennis with Daris at Sin Fat Road. It was so tired to play single, and our practice was as follows:

first 10 minutes - front court volley practice for control - so difficulat that I always hit too hard and the balls passed over Daris to the backside.

then 30 minutes for baseline and serving practice. Because the balls were too soft, the speed of the balls was not very fast and therefore I had sufficient time to prepare my action, while on the other hand I had to use extra power to strike on the balls.

final 20 minutes for a game, the results was obvious for a 5-1. I felt I started to know one trick of playing a single game - make your opponent keep running, no matter you are hitting good or not, don't hit directly to your opponent.

Because of playing single, I need to do a lot of moving than playing double, so my legs felt very very tired on the next day.
