Today I was dog meat, twice.I lost, twice.
I was disappointed, twice.
Opponents ran me like water, twice.
First match, I lost 6-0, 6-1 to a girl on my team who I beat in doubles.
In my second match, there was a delay because of rain, so we had to play short sets (beginning at 2 all with no ad. aka AHHH!!)
I lost the first set 4-6, I had her down 4-2.
Second set, I played much better. At one point in the match I had her down 5-4. I was about to win and we would have played a third set. Well, it was her serve and I folded up like a cheap suitcase. Plus these stupid guys were playing football (LOUDLY) behind me. I asked them to be quiet 3 times. But, boys will be boys.
So then the score was 5 all then 5-6 then 6 all. Tie break. Zoinks!!! I haven't played a tie break in a long time!! So I was up 4-1, she came back and beat me 5-7.
The final score was 4 - 6, 6 - 7 (5-7) SEE WHAT I MEAN? Dog Meat!! Ruff!! Bark BARK!!

You'll get em' next time. I mean, you don't want to make everyone believe that it is COMPLETELY hopeless before they start playing you.
Keep working at it, Mer. You were so close! Winning at tennis can be in your head as much as on your racquet - if you know what I mean. You will learn how to win. Just don't give up trying, baby girl.
