Besides the senior moment, I now have the menopause moment too, and it strikes often.. .. like last night. It would have been a close one but Irene just couldn’t get her act together. The girl opened match by serving it first. We danced around deuce few time but she eventually took it. I was thinking, cool, going to be a competitive match.
Ha.
I double faulted on game point, set point and match point .. hopefully I’m not going to DF on life point??!!
Sorry partner.
will try harder next time..
We even called the score wrong but our opponents corrected .. no it’s game.
Nice of them.
Wine and dine at the National Tennis Center

My weekday AM group would linger at the lobby after the game; some times llllooong after the game. And some times before the game. Many days their routine would be
.. tennis.
.. lounging around
.. lunch
.. mahjong (majiang)

.. dinner
The new lineup sheet!
I think this is the best lineup sheet I’d seen so far. The league ought to make amendment … ha ha ha ..
Good to know other captains forget things too.
The opposing cap (see the mid pix) came bit late and holding this plate.
Pretty cool
Is he wining and dinning at the NTC again??!!
And as usual, I wasn’t invited?

For Women in Sports, A.C.L. Injuries Take Toll

Now, she can only watch on heels! I was dumbfounded to see an athlete on the injured list – left knee – at the court side on HIGH HEELS. Patrick (Pat) Riley was a sleek dresser but he was a coach and his knees were injured .. so what’s this all about? Wanting to look good for the camera? Risking your knee? Not worth it, girl!

PHILADELPHIA — This is not the homecoming that Caroline Doty wanted, surgical scars having formed a vague T on her left knee, her contribution to Connecticut this season limited to charting plays from the bench instead of leading the team at point guard.

Three times Doty has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee, an injury that has afflicted sports like basketball and soccer, where women are up to five times more likely than men to have their careers interrupted for reasons that are believed to be anatomical, biomechanical and hormonal.

“I’m hanging in there, but it’s tough watching,” said Doty, 21, a junior at UConn and former basketball and soccer star at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pa.

On Sunday, UConn (34-1) will face its Big East rival Georgetown (24-10) for the third time this season in the semifinals of the Philadelphia Region. A year ago, Doty was a starter as the Huskies won a second consecutive N.C.A.A. title. Now, she can only watch.
