Went to Total Tennis for singles nite. Played doubles with two different groups of guys. More competitive on average than the Wednesday group. Tall guy Rick with a funny but effective backhand. Very quick hands. Good serve. Short Indian guy Nick. Not a strong hitter but quick, good volleys. Als a kind of sour guy Kevin. Played until 9:15. I had some really striking sequences of shots. Good serving night.
