Tennis Elbow

After a really long winter break, I started playing tennis again last week. There is a big group from work that plays regularly and some of the guys that play are bordeline state-level players. So, you can easily imagine me getting pummeled and that would be entirely factual. The best set I have played so far, I lost 6-4.

Inspite of my victory starved pursuits, I really love both the tennis and table tennis. With Tennis, I get some inexplicbable pleasure in hitting the ball around especially when the ball hits a tightly strung racket and makes the "thump" sound.

Next 3 months will be fun - till September atleast. The weather will be mostly great and I will progressively get better at tennis. Then it will be winter - I will stop play and ergo loose the touch - and I will start next summer again. It's all good.

Having played on and off for 4 years now, I think it is time for a better racket than the beginner's I-too-can-play-tennis class racket.
