Yesterday I participated in my first tennis tournament ever. Did spend Saturday evening watching videos on Youtube (for about 10 minutes) on how to play tennis, and just minutes before my first match I had to read the rules, learing that the first serve goes to the left side, then the second to the right. Another good thing I got to know just minutes before the match was which lines was important during a single match. Must admit that I was afraid that I would not even get to serve or get the ball over the net, but I did and I only lost one of three matches without points. The two other ones was 10-3 and 10-5, pretty happy with that. And finally I got to learn that my raquet from 1990 was outdated. Conversation went like this:
Person who knew a lot more about tennis than me: “Rune, are you sure that you do not want to borrow a raquet?”
Me “Do I need to?”
Person who knew a lot more about tennis than me: “Yes!!!”
Me “….mkay…” (I was until yesterday pretty proud of just owning a raquet, but now I know what I want for xmas)
