SATA tennis tournament

Today and yesterday I was in a SATA tennis tournament. SATA stands for Sacremento Area Tennis Association. In this tournament, you have to win two out of three sets. I warmed up before my first match. I had a bye for a match. My first match was against Scott Lucio at 12:30 P.M. The match was delayed for thirty minutes because there were no courts to use. He was a little challenging. Scott Lucio never gave up and had a good additude the whole time. He wasn't angry when he lost. I feel that he has good sportsmanship unlike Owen, a tennis player, that my brother played against. I had a lot of forehand and backhand winners. I had a lot of good dropshots that went in and some bad ones that went out. In this match, I learned to not underestimate my opponent because I thought I could beat him six to zero and six to zero. Instead of six to zero and six to zero, the final score was six to two and six to two. My second match was against a guy named Anthony A. at 9:00 A.M. My mom was videoing part of this match. In the first set, I was losing two to one. Then I came back and beat him six to four and six to four. This match was very difficult because there was a lot of wind and my opponent wouldn't show signs of weakness and didnt't give up. In the end, I won the match and got a first place trophy. I am so happy that I won.

Tennis Tournament

Today I played in a tennis tournament. This tennis tournament was a round robin. It was supposed to be on Saturday, but it go delayed by the rain. In this round robin tournament, you played a total of seven games. I warmed up right before my first match. My first match was with a girl named Megan. This match was very easy for me. I got a couple of aces on her, and I rarely ever made any mistakes. I also did a lot of dropshot and winners. The tennis lesson from coach Doug helped me as well. In the end, I beat her seven to zero. The second match I had was with a girl named Kendle. I knew her from the summer team tennis. This match to me was a little challanging. Kendle would hit winners at me. The ready position lesson from coach Doug helped me. I didn't have any aces but a couple of winners. I mostly did dropshots then lobs to make her run all over the place. The slight tough time caused me to win five to two. My next match was against Jonna. I played Jonna in the last round robin tournament and I lost five to one. This time I gave him some dropshots and he got frustrated. He didn't control his anger and lost five to two. I was so happy that I made it to the finals.In the finals, against Manny I had a really tough time. He had a good lead but I didn't give up. I did my dropshots but he could get to them. I did a lot of dropshots in the beginning of the game. I saw that my strategy wasn't working so I changed it. I changed it to baseline shots. This helped me prevail and win Manny six to four. The finals was a set. This was a fun tournament.

Tennis Tournament

I played against Konner and Milan Zhou. The game score against Konner were 6-1 and 6-1. I served second for both sets against Konner. I won the match against Konner. I think I won because I had more experience than Konner and had a better serve than he did. The match against Konner wasn't very challanging but I had fun. The game score against Milan was 6-3 and 6-2. I served first on the first set against Milan. Milan won the match against me but he had a tough time. I think I lost because he had more experience than me and he hit lobs with heavy topspin on it. Another reason I lost is because I made some unforced errors. The match was tough for him because I made him run a lot. I hit it left and right and did a couple of dropshots. I think my backhand needs inprovement and my forehand needs to be a little bit more accurate. I also think my serve should have some topspin or goes faster. My dropshots need to be more accurate because 1/10 times the ball went into the net or out of bounds. In this tournament, I learned to calm myself down and play as hard as you can.
