So I was called up to play for the one C team at Unionville (UTC) last night.  We played at home against Mayfair who are known to be a strong team.  I ended up playing Mens 3 doubles, which was good seeing it was my first Inter-County match ever, let alone my first competitive tennis match.

It was a freezing night and we ended up getting on last from the 6 matches, but my partner and I started quick taking the first set 6-2.  The second set we started well too, but then we started making some mistakes and we let the other team back into it and we were trailing 5-3.  My partner was serving and we went through like 2 or 4 deuces before we held serve to make it 5-3.  Now their best server was up, crazy server but didn’t always get it in.  We ended up breaking and then rallying out another 3 games and we ended up winning the set 7-5, and with that the match.

It was a good feeling coming from behind in the second set although we should have never had to.  Anyway, for my first Inter-County match I was very happy.  Hope I’ll be able to play a few more this season.

Came across this on the web…before the Indian Wells Master Series event a female reporter in a pre-tournament interview asked Andy Roddick about his love life, kinda funny, seeing Andy is quite quick witted and has a funny sarcastic humour.  It’s half way through the video after Roddick talks about Djokovic [video].
