Mens pennants against East Freo. Played #2 singles against Nic O'Brien (UTR 8.83) and lost 5-7 3-6. Was up in the first set 4-1, but that was mainly down to him making tonnes of unforced errors. Couldn't time anything the whole day, felt really uncoordinated. Serve was really inconsistent and deteriorated throughout the match as I got tired. Probably hit about 15 double faults over the course of the whole match. By the end of the match there was a circle of ball fluff on my strings that went around the edge of the racket face leaving an empty spot with no fluff right on the sweet spot.
Doubles I played #1 with Scott against Nic and Lincoln Duckett. Feeling pretty dead the whole way but played better when it counted to come away with the win 7-5 2-6 10-7. I had a good return and a couple of clutch big second serves to seal the match from 7-7 in the tiebreaker.
Team lost by a set. Disappointing to get so close to a team that's much higher on the ladder but not come away with the win. Not looking likely that we'll make finals, especially with Cottesloe crushing APTC to pull 4th place even further away.
