Getting old is so frustrating. My legs finally feel awesome, everything in my game feels good except this nagging wrist/thumb injury. It's OK on ground strokes and was OK on service, I thought, until a long match last week.
So I rested it all week, hit a little bit yesterday and practiced some underhand serves ust in case. This morning during my match I switched to underhand serve after serving two games regular. I told my opponent before hand, told him I was not goofing around but I had to do it ( I did not want to seem like a dick).
I was playing number three singles so my opponent wasn't very strong and I knew I could break him so I figured my service wouldn't matter too much. It was quite an adventure, I found that I had to move a couple feet back off the baseline to reliably get in he decent side spinning underhand serve.
He broke me a couple times, I held a couple times and I was able to break him enough to win three and four. A win's a win I guess.
Never ever had a wrist or hand injury, why now? I want my wasted youth back!
