Aftermath of a Tennis Victory

I am still sore after my weekend of tennis. My hamstrings and glutes is where I hurt the most. Oddly enough, my wrist isn't bothering and it is usually the constant source of my aches and pains. But I have to get past the pain because I still have a lot of practicing to do.

First serve is great; my second serve sucks. I couldn't believe the amount of double faults I had during my match. I tried to avoid just tapping the ball back over the line so I tried to put some extra spin on it. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn't. This is a major problem when it comes to competitive play. I will spend the next week and a half doing some serving drills.

I going to do this drill I learned from Venus Williams: you practice your serves like you are in a match so if you miss you first serve you go for your second. You keep score and see how many points or games you lose because of your score.

Hopefully by next week I will have a better second serve.

Speaking of a Williams' sister .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERENA!!

By the way ... I will not be wearing this for my tournament!
