Hey Tennis Friends!
Once again I get to play on the USTA 4.0 team, and, for the second time this season, I got paired up with my buddy, Gus!
The length of time of this match was nearly a reverse situation from the previous match that I played in.
This time our first set lasted around 22 minutes, and the second set was over twice as long, around 50 minutes!
It was pretty funny, and not too common, that in the middle of our match (and the video) Gus caught the ball in the throat of his racquet. When that happens, the point is over, and the opponent’s win the point.
I have seen this happen before, and it’s always a little awkward. I felt that Gus handled it with the appropriately humorous follow through.
My results, so far, for this season are:
Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
1-2
Be sure to share GroundsPass.net with your other Tennis Friends, and I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

Congratulations on your win. I played today with a first-time opponent–I bombed. Glad you got to repeat your pair up with Gus an WIN. You two make a good team. Will watch for more of the same.
How come you didn’t interview me?!!! I was on the next court over and you didn’t even show me playing! LOL. John Raattama
