Tournament - Day 9



SS Match 2 (Altimate Vikings v/s Ace of Pace)

I always tell my girlfriend to play it safe… I try explaining to her the dangers & the consequences… she never listened…& never understood until….

…. until she saw the highlights of AV v/s AP super six match.
(ugh.. ugh..[clearing throat] we are talking tennis here)

On a day when safe game, level handedness & cool thinking won over aggression, pace and power, AV went home smiling, making one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, beating AP 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. When weather, wind (averaging 130 mph) & light played a major role for the evening, teams were left with no choice but to change venue mid way through the match, playing half game in Arlington heights court & remaining at mallard lake. Cant stop adoring the simplicity yet the effectiveness of AV’s game (Been saying this umpteenth time.. yet again.. teams, pluck a leaf from their game).
Ok.. now this stops the winning run APs had in the tournament & AV still remains unbeaten topping the super 6 tables.
“Its hard to play in such conditions & even harder to lose in such condition. This is just a start & we will correct our mistakes n come back strongly” Said Talat after the captain left the court in hurry.
“It’s a fantastic journey & I am loving it.. err.. WE are loving it.. We had our preparations & just wanted to give our best. Win is a bonus” said a jubilant Vanshi [with a wink] for AV.

The Tournament is on fire. Hoping for a good weekend weather & some exciting matches. That’s all for today folks. Happy Friday !!
