Kudos for Heath
New Orleans City Park was the scene of the latest battlefield. I was playing Heath, who I don't frequently play. When we first started playing years ago, he was a lot better than me. He used to kick my ass. But as my experience grew, I got to a point where Heath could no longer beat me. I may not serve the best, but I'll make it very difficult on any opponent by always hauling ass and excellently covering the court well.
In the first set, I broke open a 3-1 lead. I was just hitting safe shots and waited for Heath to eventually hit long. Then I decided to not play it safe anymore. I looked sexy in my tight checkered shorts. I was showing a box and a meaty rump. I wanted to earn "style points" by aggressively muscling my way to victory. Unfortunately, Heath could not be dickwhipped and won the first set 6-4 despite my intentional distractions.
In the second set, I beat Heath 7-6. It was an interesting set because it rained on us during six of those games. It was light enough to where we could safely play. The clay was absorbing the moisture. Plus, I wasn't about to quit after being down. We valiantly continued our battle. On a key point, I ran up against a gate ten feet away cutting my finger to score a critical point. It was very important because Heath had the advantage and was leading 5-4 in this set. If I hadn't done that, the tennis match would have been over. I won that game and evened up the set 5-5, before I eventually won the exhausting set 7-6.
In the third set, I went up early 3-0 without really trying. Heath just gave me those victories by delivering so many unforced errors. Then, it was my turn to return the favor. The final set was now tied at 5-5. I felt DEAD TIRED as the sun had brutally decided to come back with a vengeance. The person who was going to win this thirty five game three hour set was going to be one with a shred more stamina left. Unfortunately, that was Heath who won the next two games on many unforced errors on my end. He had just broken my seven match win streak. :(
I wasn't too upset that I lost because I gave my best effort. I made Heath damn well EARN his victory. Since Heath is the first person to beat me in a long time, I am going to award him by moving him up to #4 in the tennis rankings. Congratulations Heath! You were a STRONG COMPETITOR!
