Tennis...

OK, so, in a previous post I said it was the best tennis match ever. I don't know if that's true. But it's definitely the longest match ever. The worst part about it was, somebody had to lose. The second worst part was that the other person was almost 100% guaranteed to lose the next match. But for 11 hours of tennis, these two men played good tennis. No, make that great tennis: few unforced errors, plenty of aces, plenty of winners, plenty of clutch points/games won to keep alive their chances of winning! That kind of focus, determination, perseverance, and execution under pressure and extremely challenging circumstances are an example to all of us. May we live that way in the things that really count!

Much as I didn't think anyone should have to lose, I did have a rooting interest. Nicolas Mahut's last name is similar to my first name. But John Isner isn't French. And he IS an American. AND he's from the Boro, just up the road in NC. So I was cheering for him. And he finally pulled it off. after fighting off break points on his own serve, he hit a couple of winners to break Mahut's serve and win the final 5th set, 70-68!!!

While I'm on the subject of epic tennis matches, Epic Athletic has yet to hold their tennis event, but it'll be coming soon. Keep up with the competition here.
