0 commentsLast Sunday Brent and I went down to Roger Williams Park, for a little Sunday morning tennis-league that they have on the clay-courts there. I was actually rather excited about the prospect of playing a competitive tennis match, seeing as I haven't done so in about 3 or 4 years. I was also curious to know how I would play now that I am no longer encumbered by the desire to be a professional tennis player. The guy I played was either a 5.0 or 5.5 level player. In other words, he was pretty good. We started warming up and I felt good–it was fun to be back in the feel of playing a match, the nerves, the excitement, etc. I was also a little concerned about my poor ankle, which necessitates that I wear a very firm ankle brace whenever I play. In fact, two sundays ago I was playing with Brent when I tripped, and if it hadn't been for the brace, I would have most certainly sprained the ankle again.
