Heads22 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 As you guys know, my tennis season hasn't gone well....that continued with districts today..... My partner and I had to play the #1 undefeated seed from Dubuque.... Anyone who plays tennis knows you have to put a bit of force behind a tennis ball to lodge it in a fence....I did that today in warmups....I thought that was cool until the guy from Dubuque hit the ball thru the fence. At that point, I knew we were f***ed. We lost 6-0, 6-0 to end the season. We woulda had one game in there, as we were up 40-15 in one game, and I got a good 4 foot out of bounds as the guy from the other team was preparing to smash it....I thought I got out of the way....not so....I proceed to get smoked by a tennis ball in the arm that woulda been out by twenty feet except for the fact I'm slow. Someone hold me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonWeltall Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I was playing tennis today for my school and my partner and I (who are undefeated) played some horrible kids. We won 6-0, 6-0. They almost won a game but I pegged this asshole in the arm to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Between your Tennis and Basketball stories, your athletic career must be very tough Heads. You remind me of Leon in the Bud commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because Oelwein is a farming town and it's school is probably really, really small. Basically it's Hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Must hav been a weak - ass fence there. It's Iowa, 'nough said. I've hit some and seen more balls stuck in fences. To go through? Only when the ball finds a somewhat large hole on the bottom when it's hit hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 regular sized hole....about the size of a postit note but smaller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I was playing tennis today for my school and my partner and I (who are undefeated) played some horrible kids. We won 6-0, 6-0. They almost won a game but I pegged this asshole in the arm to win. That can hurt! I got nailed in the lower region during a doubles match at my conference playoffs years ago. My partner had this annoying habit of returning the ball softly, and leaving me out to dry at the net. I got him back during the third set, though. I nailed him in the back with a serve. Oops! I might not have done that, except that I swear I saw him laughing when I was rolling around on the court, holding my crotch, and screaming "My balls, oh my balls!" Oh, we lost in 3 sets, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 (I got nailed in the 1st game of the third set, downhill from there!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 It's pretty easy if you stand 8 ft from the fence and whack the tennis ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Tennis is an awesome game. Doubles are pretty gay, but singles? Just great. Combination of skill and athleticism and individuality that's probably unmatched. Federer-Agassi duking it out in YEC? When I hear about baseball players in their prime having to be "rested", I am like try playing 3 hour matches on consecutive days -- now that's fatigue!

Someone hold me.... a guy with the numbers 666 or 06066 in his sig wonders why he got smoked 6-0 6-0 and got whacked with the ball can we talk about a few themes here?

Personally I think Coria from Argentina will win with his superior record on clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
