My first singles tournament in 15 years is just around the corner!! only a week to practice! Its an open tournament so my opponents are all teenagers who just walk in the court and bash the ball. well, me? need few hours to get ready! Hot shower to wake up my body, stretching, wrap up all my joints with supporters and then take energy boost & pain killers together...then finally get to walk in the court!!
Big thanks to my husband who has been training with me!

We are in winter NZ and had a wretched rainy day yesterday but welcomed beautiful sunny day today! My son looked radiant with his first tennis lesson in NZ. He did some drills with a couch from Whangarei named Peter and had a blast on the court.
I did some on-court agility training but seriously, when I did some quick movements, my knees squeaked!
I tried some footwork drills that I used to do and it was just suicidal! My quads got tight in the first 20 seconds and felt like having bricks wrapped around my legs! well, better take it easy so did some sidesteps instead.
