He Finally Does It !

Jaden Joins Pantheon Of
Tennis Greats !



My God , I still couldn't believe it .

It happened yesterday , Saturday evening , where my uncle took me and his children to our club to play tennis .

And for the first time in human history , Jaden finally defeated someone with more years of experience than him !

This counted as an official game , as there were witnesses ( my cousins ) watching the game . The game ended by a comprehensive , 6-4 .

Oh , by the way , we ( my uncle and myself ) go by nicknames .That way , we can both motivate and poke fun of each other by calling ourselves by our nicknames .
He's Rafael Nadal whilst I'm the one and only , Roger Federer .



Here's what happened ..

' Nadal ' took the first service . Usually , his services are very very strong and I've had a tough time returning them . But on that day , I easily returned ALL services thrown at him . All I did was I gripped my racket solidly and the changes were obvious . This was a typical scenario where we trade-shots . I broke his service , and he broke mine . This went on until our score was 2-2 .

When it was his turn to serve again , I successfully broke his serve when he hit a net ball at the score of 30-40 . By then , the score was 3-2 .

I managed to grab hold of another game and then , it was 4-2 . By that time , I kept reminding myself to focus and keep going on . I was like ,

" Don't let him win any more games .
Leave him at 2 "


But , my uncle won his service and also managed to break my service game which made the score , 4-4 . I gave it all I had and managed to bring the score to a 5-4 after my uncle hit an out-ball .

When it was his service game at 5-4 , I managed to break his service after quite some time of trading services and deuces . When it was finally on my advantage , I finally made a forehand winner down the line and sealed the match by a 6-4 score .


The End .



Let me remind you all again , that my uncle was a former tennis champion . He's got like , 3 throphies at home with his name labelled on the front that says " Juara " , or " 1st place " .

Loss , after loss after loss , it was getting a bit boring and agitating that he's always coming out on top . Defeating him was always a dream to me . But now it's no longer a dream .
It's reality . And I'm seriously overjoyed that I finally did !


****************

Ever wondered what it looks like when Roger Federer married his longterm girlfriend ?

Well , it was rather well , or so I think it is .


































Here's a fun fact for you .


Federer's wife , Mirka , is actually 3 years older than him . They met at the Sydney Olympics and well , you know what they say ..


Sparks fly !



****************
Oh well guys .

I've gotta' go now .

Most likely gonna' do something I don't enjoy .


I'll see you all later .
