quaker oats

Recently found some free time in my schedule to start playing again, restrung my Babolat ProDrive Aero with some RPMs and played 5 or 6 matches

Holy shit am I rusty. Not even with form/ consistency but like I'm misjudging shots really badly, either getting jammed/ letting the ball come up way too much before I make contact or swiping it at shoe level

Not to mention my serve. Used to have a MEAN flat first serve with alarming consistency, just double faulted through 2 games and lost 0-8, 1-8, and 1-8 against my boy. Feelin JV as fuck

THE STRUGGLE

also yo just got a Fitbit for my birthday, & I never realized how high intensity tennis was


this's screencap is gonna melt ur mind

I believe it, tennis is underrated like that. but I haven't really played in a year tbh, used to play a lot. I feel like my serve is the first thing to go, though. ground strokes come back a little quicker.

word @ misjudging the distance and timing. you're making me wanna pick up the old babalot again!

I never even got to the tennis match in Infinite Jest. I stopped after the meeting between the transvestite secret agent or whatever the fuck.

0-8? Why were you playing sets to 8?

Tennis is that GOAT sport - I'm pleased since my old high school Tennis coach has started a Monday Night summer tennis league type thing and I have been playing there.

I cracked my fucking racquet though

Playing sets to 8 because we weren't ready for a water break at 6
