In the first set, I was clueless. On top of my serving rather ignorantly, I was miss timing shots that I was well within place for while nicking back as many of Bucci's balls as possible until my clock ran out.
Despite the score, the second set was quite different. I was able to start serving with some variety (which is always my goal) and finally stick some winners which allowed me to win my first service game of my tour career. Even though I didn't win another game, I didn't lose any at love. In fact, my second service game must've went deuce close to a dozen times before I slipped up.
I know the second set is still no good, even by my standards, but when the match was over, I was happy. Despite not being able to turn it around enough to win the set or the match, the fact remains, I was able to turn it around. That bit of silver lining is all I need to want to get better. I credit ITST for that as it truly takes Top Spin to a whole new level. This place is awesome.
Lastly, I want to say Good Game again to The_Cooler. I know this reads like a weak heroic narrative but really it's just my consolation prize. The_Cooler won the match handedly regardless. Also, because of that, I know I have put a target on his back to get my revenge some day
lol
Sorry for the long read btw. My summary is now over. I'm pretty sure I won't have this much to say after every match from here after.
