So, today was the second tennis competition day and I was looking forward to it. I only played a doubles match, so, instead 11:00 AM I had to be around the tennis courts at 01:00 PM.

I did a little bit of an easy morning, went to the beach and had a coffee with wife and son. Was beautiful weather, around 60 degrees, little bit of wind, perfect weather for tennis.

When I was sitting in the car I received a text message that I was able to come around 2 as the matches were all long. Because of Corona, they rather have people coming in at times when they have to play, so yes too bad I was not able to watch, but safety first ! ! !

As I entered the tennis courts, I saw my doubles player was still playing singles. He just lost the first set and was moaning about the weather. My doubles partner is the neighbour, of the neighbours of MY neighbours and actually a little bit of a strange guy. (think about it in your head neighbour, neighbour, neighbour) ! ! !

He doesn't really talk a lot with me outside the tennis courts, but he only approaches me, when .............. Bitcoin is doing bad; in other words, when BTC is going down, has NO clue there are a lot of other coins, he is always present for a little chat .... I am not that invested anymore, but feel some kind of jealousy with him regarding digital assets, oh well ! ! !

I was watching him in the second set and the guy he was playing ..... was really bad. I was surprised he lost the first set to him. To make a long story shorter, my neighbour won the second set, was 2 points away from winning the third one, but lost the match, third set 7-5. He was aggravated, wanted to win the doubles.

I am not playing well lately, should sit out to let my body heal a bit, but I like the game so much, I just want to play. We had to play the doubles and my neighbour was fired up. I kinda saw the opponent was very strong, so I was like eh ..... this is a toughy, man ! ! !

After 15 minutes we had lost the first set ...... 6-0, it went fast. Second set 2-0 behind, break down again and the guy next to us on the court:

F$#@^ing courts, this is F$@#ed up and this Bull#@%% #@$^%^ @#$$% and #@%$

I was like, what are you doing man, there is children here ! ! ! Oh and there are women here that should not hear does words either.

He was looking at me and well, if looks could kill, this blog would not have been written ! ! !

He started again:

and what the F@#%$#% do you want, you little piece of @#!% , @$%#%^, !@$#$, !#&$^%^#@

WOW, classy, please Sir, go back to your court and be a decent person, please ! ! !

Oh, I see you are F#@^$&ing loosing, 6-0, 2-0, makes sense, you pathetic piece of !@% ^&%$, $%#&&%^

JUST IGNORE FERDI, JUST IGNORE ! ! !

So I had to serve, was a little mad, so I served it outside and ..... ACE, nice start of the game, we made 3 more points in a row and we got our first game, wow, nice one....

And, we broke their serve, really nice ! ! ! all the way up to 6-5 up and we won the second set 7-5 ...... this was so NOT expected. Third set was a Super Tie-Break, first one reaching 10 won the match, 2 points different.

We played a good Tie-Break, but were 9-7 behind , 2 match points for the opponents on serve. He served it to my forehand and my previous returns were weak, so now I only had one idea: straight down the line ..... the net player made a move and I passed the good guy. 9-8. My neighbours neighbours neighbour had to serve and I told him go backhand and I will destroy it with a volley ........ and so, that happened, 9-9.

What if ....No, no, but really ......... NAH

One more good first serve, percentage tennis, and 10-9 UP ! ! ! Oh my goodness ....

The guy served a double fault and so an exciting game just stopped like a beautiful candle blown out by the wind .... DONE ! ! !

We were really happy and my neighbours neighbours neighbour was doing a little dance, he could not believe it, loosing 8 games in a row and then a big fat W .....

After the game, the guy playing next to us, came over and apologised to us, he said I was right and his behaviour does not belong on the tennis court. I waved him all was fine and I was happy he apologised ... and I also thanked him:

For waking us up to start winning a game. He laughed, I laughed .... We all laughed, also my neighbours, neighbours neighbour

**STAY SAFE ! ! !
