Week 37 - Futures F5 (M) - Falun, Sweden


Its a balmy afternoon in Sweden and a crowd of 12, plus umpire and ball children have turned out for the Ashes Tennis match between Joshua (Stallion) Goodall Raphael (pony tail) Durek.

The players are gathering their thoughts after a warm up in which neither outshone the other!

Josh evidently has a lot of respect for the Durek returns, he's not serve-volleying...Durek appears to have quite a big forehand from these first couple of games....2 aces so far for Josh, serve working well

England slump to 135 ao off 20 overs exactly against Australia. below par but they have a chance if they bowl well.

Josh will be gutted because he seemed to have Durek's measure there. I think he needs to come forward more as he hasn't lost a point at net.

Durek serving big atm, hopefully he'll tail off.

Durek to open Set 2,

15-0, contested ace.
30-0, return wide,
40-0 ace at the body. Why didn't he return that?
game, Josh lost a point at net because he drop shotted it instead of putting it away.
