Tennis, Tennis and Tennis
Last Friday I made a challenge against Mikayla Fleming on the ladder so I could be in the under 12 rep taranaki tennis team.
Me and Mum had to drove an hour to Mania to play that tennis match.
When we got there I was so nervous. I had some hits with Mum to calm my nerves until Mikayla turned up. She was half an hour late so that meant I had a good warm up.
I had some hits with her and immediately thought I was going to lose because she was just smashing them back at me. But when it got to the real ting every hit she tried to hit hard at me it went out or in the net.
I was just playing it safely and used my patience to wait for the right moment to smash it past her.
In the end I kept that up and won in straight sets 7 – 2, 7- 1.
And after that fight, I was really tied and Mum was really proud of me.
