In Team Tennis, every match is a point either earned or given to the opponent. It is truly a team effort and every match counts, from #1 Doubles, to the Mixed Doubles, finished by the #6 singles. It is often difficult for the last few match players to keep focused after sitting around for 2 or 3 hrs. So, great job singles players for finishing the task! Tennis is a very mentally tough game and we are continuing to improve every week.
The next match will be September 8th in La Vernia @ 9:00 am.
