Hong Kong Open
sorry about blog. been having some problems but should be all fixed up now.
In the first round I beat Sarah Kippax in 4 games. In the 4th game, at 8 all, I smacked myself in the leg while playing a shot and managed to cause it to bleed loads and had to have a 3 min blood stoppage. Fortunately I managed to win that game 11/9.
In the last 16, I lost against rachael grinham in 4. first game was too predictable which meant she was able to move me around and dominate play. so i changed it in second and mixed everything up which worked better and started moving forward onto her crosscourts. in third lost 11/9 and now kinda regret giving the blatant stroke away when i was 6/4 up and the refs called a let. to be fair, had i taken it, i wud have felt guilty and probably lost the game anyway. i figured karma wud kick in and let me win the game but noooooooo. needed to get off to better starts in each game as she always got the jump early. don't think ive ever won a game against her before.
back in new york now. have uni exam on 2nd Nov and preparing for Weymuller tournament which starts on the 5th nov. Ive been sick with the flu this week but I am getting better and back on court now.
talk soon
