Team Tennis Championships

Yesterday, after band camp, I left for the Team Tennis Championships in Indianapolis. It is unlike any other tournament I play in the summer and is also my last summer tournament. We play a girls and boys doubles, girl and boy singles, and two mixed doubles matches. We also play two out of three 4 game sets with a 12 point tiebreaker at 3-3 and a super tiebreaker for the third set. Another weird part is that who wins the match is determined by the number of games won, not matches won. Yeah, it's a little confusing.


We started at 9 o'clock this morning playing a team from Western Michigan. I played mixed doubles and we won 4-3, 4-1. As a team, however, we lost by 3 games. After lunch, we played a team from Ohio Vally. I play mixed again but lost this time 4-2,4-2. The boy we played was an amazing lefty. He also beamed me in the stomach on an overhead and didn't even apologize. As a team we ended up losing that one by 4 games. Hopefully we will be able to win our 2 matches tomorrow and I can be home in time for our parish picnic.
