The Leslie Allen Tournament

Well, this last weekend was bookended by two different rain storms... but there was perfect tennis weather in between. Saturday and Sunday in Santa Barbara turned out to be perfect days for playing tennis!

I haven't really been out playing that much primarily because of what my schedule has been like for the last few months... too many other things to keep my occupied. However I can't really complain too much about how I played. I still ended up losing in the semis to someone who I should have been able to beat. Too many unforced errors!! Which is exactly the way my opponent plans on beating people. After this loss, I'm convinced that I don't have the fundamentals down on even my best strokes. Against players who return with no pace, I should still be able to place the ball into the corners with pace and follow it in. I definitely didn't do this on Sunday. Now I've got something to work on out on the practice court!!!
