    First tournament? I'm just winging it!

    I lost 6-4 6-1! To a pusher type player who just lightly returned shots back to me. The big detractors for me was that I had never played on clay (more like sand) before, which led to me misjudging bounces and sliding around. Also, playing hard against my first singles friend made my hand...
