So anyways, tomorrow is the subdistricts tourney for tennis. Top three teams continue on to districts. Since I'm varsity this year, I'm playing, and get to miss school all day to play in it. (First match starts at eight) I...well, I actually think we're going to move on. What's going to suck is that we'll need to play our own first doubles team (we're third doubles) in order to move past the second round. I'm not thinking we'll lose; It just kinda stinks to have to take out your own teammates :/ Then again, that's how it goes. So I'm eating loads of grains and stuff. Just had a(nother) croissant.

...

I don't know why I'm saying this. Excited and needing to expend energy, I guess. Cuz, you know, I couldn't do that physically or anything.

...

Does anyone on here even play or have a remote interest in tennis?

No.

To be honest, I didn't read any of what you just wrote.

I can play tennis, albeit  not amazingly well, the only event with tennis I keep track of is Wimbledon, Nadal is a bit phitt.  I have a couple of friends who are really into it though.
One is like the under 18s team for Kent, or something similar.
But i did do a similar day long tournament in hockey a week or so ago, it was tough but really fun!

Good luck I'm sure you'll play great!

I don't really play, and when I do, I'm not very good.

Good luck, though!

Well, we won the first match easily, barely lost the second match against our own best doubles team, then won the third match. We resume playing again at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow as well now.

Well, I would've joined the Tennis Team but I'm not a team player nor am I very motivated to wake up at ___ AM. Or give up my weekends online :V

Either way, awesome that you got that far- Our Tennis Team sucks compared to yours.

Forgot to post here yesterday; anyways, season's over.

We lost our match, but man was it close. Considering we were playing the number 2 doubles team in the league, both seniors, whereas we're a third doubles team consisting of a junior and a freshman...everyone thought we'd be blown away 6-0, 6-0. We made it so much closer than that, I'm proud of how we did. Next year we're going all the way. :)
