With one match left (and I’ve already played so much I may not make it in the lineup), I took my first L of the 6.5 Mixed Combo season this weekend, 5-7, 3-6. I took a nasty bite from the double-fault bug in some inopportune moments in the first set and then we just stunk it up in the 2nd.
Adding insult to injury, the match was on hardcourt so I was starting to get sore before I got back to the house. Playing on clay is so forgiving to these old bones.
