Game with Daris at Laguna City

Yesterday (16 Jan 2005) played tennis with Daris at Laguna City after
dinner with some old classmates. The dinner was quite routine (???)
somehow although we were already quite familiar with each other.

Game started from 9:00pm, and you know, never play tennis immediately
after the dinner next time! My stomach was so uncomfortable and all
the food tried to burst out from the deep big hole between my teeth!

Well, the game itself was quite interesting. I found that the
returning of the ball is very important in a single match, because a
single player just cannot take care of the whole court, and if you do
a bad returning, there are so many killing angles and open space for
your opponent to attack!

Another trick of a single match is to keep your opponent running, so
that he cannot hit back the ball easily, and that will increase his
chance of faults.

Yesterday I tried to hit with less power but more control (but not
soft bounce back of ball), and it seems quite good for me.

I am still weak in backhands, but improvement in serving.

Expecting the next game on thursday and also next single match with Daris.
