FMJ - Day 480

July 21: No finds. I played in a Men's Open Tennis tournament in Oxnard, CA. My first round match was against Russel Stuart who happens to be the Tennis Pro at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club. I lost 6-2, 6-1. It was a good showing... many of the games were quite close and I felt that when I was able to return his "Roddick Style" serve and could start a rally then I played the point well. There were some awesome exchanges. Right now, I'd place my tennis abilities as a few notches above the best park player and some teaching pros but just a tad bit below the college players and ranked men's open players. Maybe there's still chance for this 39 year old to make his mark again on the tennis courts...
