Yup, today I had a tennis match and for a while I was really uncertain of whether I was going to be playing or not. But, the rain and stuff mostly stopped and we finally got to play. The other team had to forfeit quite a few games so we won the match overall pretty easily.

But, the other team was cheating, like majorly, and I'll write it all out tomorrow.

So, the other team that we played was very unsportsmanlike...grrr.... stressed

I hit several balls that were very obviously in, vouched for by my team, and they still called them out. But, it was their call so I couldn't really say anything about it, no scratch that, I can't say anything about it, its their call. But! When I called one of their shots out, that was obviously out, by at least three inches, their team started arguing with me, and even the coach got into it. That really surprised me, the coach should not get into things. I knew for certaintly and all that I'm worth that the ball was out, and so I called it as such, but nooooo, their team started arguing with me, it was VERRRRRRRY annoying. I wanted to smack them, or something of the sort, but we were better than that, so because the other team kept arguing with me and my call, even though it is completely my call, I let them re-do the shot so that we wouldn't have to get into a whole thing about it. And then later when one of my serves was out, and I'm fairly certain that it was out, and that they called it as such, they shot it back to me, and then when I didn't hit it they said that they had called it in, that bugged me too. And then I hit one of the girls with my serve (which was a hard, fast one for me, and OUCH do I know that those hurt, I hit them, hard) but it was completely her fault, she was way too close to the net, and if she hadn't been standing there it probably would have went in. I figured out later that it would have counted, but the coach for the other team was telling us that it didn't, errrr it was really frustrating. But, in the end we still won, so that makes me feel better about it, and I learned a lot about the different stuff that I have to stand up for in a game.

We won 6-2 and 6-4! Yay! Go us! ^^
