Tuesday, March 22, 2022 (Court Day #479)

I got to Skypark at 7:10 p.m. The courts were lightly attended once again. When I mentioned it, someone said that now that it’s light in the evening, people are playing at Brommer Park instead. Maybe so, but it was lighter attendance the week before the time change too.

My first game was with three unfamiliar players. One, a tall fellow, is named Andrew. I ended up switching to my left hand midway through the game. These were 2.5/3.0 players.

Better games

I did get some good games in. I have to give kudos to Paul W. tonight. There was a high ball where I had a fantastic slam opportunity about head height that I took full advantage of. I hit the ball very hard down in the space between Paul and his partner. Paul and I were both on the right. But Paul was able to reach out with his long right arm and get the ball back over the net in the direction of my partner. I was really impressed. I was fully expecting that rally to be over. Of the players I regularly play against, at least 49 out of 50 would not be able to return my slam successfully. Nice work, Paul!

Overall, I was not thrilled with my play tonight. I should start keeping track of errors that I need to correct.
