The men’s team/league that I’m playing in is just wrapping up now. It was a fun season. I’ve played mostly doubles in this league, and I’m getting more comfortable at it. I played singles in my last match and managed to pull off the win. My nerves still get to me and really affect my forehand. In the end, I managed to pull it off 6-4, 6-7, 7-6, but a lot of missed opportunities made it a lot closer than maybe it should have been.

Have I told you all how much I love my racquets? I've been playing
for a long time, and this is the first racquet I've used that really
seems right for me. We're talking about the Wilson Blade V7 98 (see
picture to the left).
I've recently been experimenting with a number of strings, but think
I've now settled on RPM Blast. Now I'm just trying to figure out if
I like 16 or 17 gauge string better. I'm leaning toward 17, which is
what I played with for years when I was just playing with synthetic gut.
String breakage isn't as much an issue with these new poly strings.
