Luckily, someone else became available, and I'll be playing #3 dubs with another 3.0, but she is very strong...should be a good match!

Won my 3.0 match 6-0, 6-1. Won my 3.5 match 6-1, 6-2 and lost my 4.0 match 6-0, 6-2.

So I figure I will try again next week. Certainly a different experience at ea. level. I just wished I wouldn't have signed up to play 3.0 again. But I figured it would be my last year since the computers must have missed me last year.

I'm going to play my first ever men's spring league match this Thursday. It is 3.0 level, and I will be playing at the #1 singles spot. I also have one more winter mix match on friday (3-2 overall in mixed), because of a snow cancellation earlier in the season.

Good luck, Raiden!

So, uh. If you start losing, are you gonna push?

Never! I was never good at pushing to begin with so it won't help me anyways.

Lost a 3.5 doubles match 1-6, 3-6. I am actually pretty happy with how I played, especially with my returns. I think I only missed one, and that is *huge* improvement for me. I'm a 3.0 and this was a strong team, so I'm actually not ashamed by that result at all.

played my first 3.0 league match today. i double-faulted quite a bit in the first and lost it 1-6, picked up my serve in the second and was serving at 5-4 but couldn't hold and lost 5-7.

i dont think i did that badly considering i was tired from playing 4 and a half hours yesterday and having my racket strings pop to boot which forced me to play with a new racket (to be fair, i won a doubles set with that racket yesterday). but i am very dissatisfied with my double faults (like 1-2 a game) and some of my forehands. also i am disappointed in that i could not take advantage of his deceptively forceful second serve. he double-faulted maybe on average 0-1 a game and i shouldve put more pressure.

but i think hes definitely beatable and am anxious to play again when i have my regular racket (w/ all the lead tape and strings v. an old agassi radical from 92 with two year old topspin strings) and a little less mileage on my legs.

I'm a benchmark 3.0 playing in both 3.0 and 3.5 leagues...

3.0 Results:
Singles (W) 6-0, 6-0
Singles (W) 6-3, 6-0
Doubles (W) 6-1, 6-1

3.5 Results:
Doubles (L) 4-6, 1-6
Singles (W) 6-4, 4-6, 6-4
Singles (L) 3-6, 6-3, 1-6
Singles (L) 3-6, 4-6
Singles (W) 6-4, 6-3

I've been playing some strong competition in 3.5 singles, so I'm pleased with my results. The last win was especially big, as he's a very strong 3.5 player.

Also finished up this spring's local league mixed doubles in A2 (typically players rated 4.0 and 3.5):
(L) 1-6, 3-6
(W) 6-2, 6-1
(W) 6-4, 6-4
(W) 6-1, 4-6, 1-0
(W) 6-3, 6-1
(L) 4-6, 5-7

My 3.5 team is now 12-0. I played a couple of old guys today. They tried playing some mind games but we still won 6-2, 7-5. I let them get to me in the start of the second set but my partner shook me out of it and we took care of business.

My last 4.0 match is tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers for a win there to make my 4.0 season not as horrible as it has been.

lost to a pusher/dinker today, 2-6, 1-6. he got everything back that i hit pretty hard and i think i missed like 8 overheads in a row. i really need to practice that shot. its annoying to play a pusher but at the same time i cant say he beat me more that i beat myself cuz of inconsistencies. that said, my forehand did pretty well and i need to hit more down the line backhands.

Well I lost my 4.0 match. It went three sets and almost three hours. There were more deuces then I could count. I think every game went to deuce at least once. I played #1 doubles against a very strong 4.0 team so I kind of feel like it was a victory.
