回覆：Tennis Match on 13 March 2005

Dear Stanley,

You should pay me before the pairing. Please remember I set the game arrangement, and match sequence in advance. We have 3 players/teams for both single and double, so for the preliminary, no. 1 of each group should be more favourable, as no. 2 and no. 3 should be have lesser resting time. This is sky-idea for when to play. I will sent out the first day result and match sequence of the second day with names indicated.

Thus, as Hara and you are B1 of double, you should play two double games with around half-hour resting time in between, but you will face your greatest competitor, Vicky,after the double. I suggest you to bring some food, such as chocolate, to re-charge your energy, and better bring one more T-shirt to change after gone wet completely.

Please note that 3 games within 3 hours in second day, and 4 or 5 games within 4 hours in the final. You should better have more physical training to improve your energy level.

Ivan
