Rocky Challenge


Rocky is the one on the right and yesterday we had what i dubbed as the "Rocky challenge". After many texts to suss out who my partner was the challenge was set for Saturday morning, early. I chose Fieden, a strong player as my partner and Rocky turned up 45mins late with his partner who i didn't know, but Fiedens smile told me we were in trouble, yes we were. After just a few minutes we were 4-0 down and playing weakly, tentative and were being blasted away, Rocky's partner was too hot to handle. But Fieden and i buckled down (after a quick chat), improved and it became a decent game, we got to 2-6 down and then, playing some strong tennis to 6-6, rocky was rattled.

For some reason we play 8 game sets but at 7-7 we play a tie breaker, which unfortunately we lost and with it, back came Rocky's confident smile. Oh well, we had him worried, and there is always next week.
