Today Phil and I had another mixed doubles match. We played for this team in the winter and were undefeated. Of course we weren't playing in the "correct division" but for only playing once a week (when we played the match every Sunday) it was fun for us. This was our first match of the summer league and since the rain decided to come everyday at 5 pm this week we really only had a good hour of hitting under us from the past month. Today was a struggle, but we won 6-3, 6-2. We both thought we played horrible, but as soon as we walked off the court everyone said "you guys played amazing". It's always nice to know that even when we think we played terrible we're still "amazing" in other people's eyes. Of course Phil and I are our toughest critics since we know how good we USED to be. Sure we're better than most people in these mixed doubles leagues, but the thing is we used to be GREAT! Then again when we were great we were able to play 3-4 hours each day with other competitive people ... now we just have to hit with each other and well hope we don't have a "tennis divorce" (as our mixed doubles captain says). Here are some pics of us in our "glory days" ...
