So my club is up against some other club tomorrow... I'm playing #2 single (since apparently not all my ranking points are gone oO) and probably doubles with the guy who plays #1 single.

Haven't really played a match in AGES and I'm completely out of shape at the moment, since I haven't been to the gym for a while nor have I been running since I got home from vacation which was like 2-3 weeks ago. I did practise this Monday and Wednesday though and also a quick hour today but that's pretty much it. Wish me luck :P

I'll let you know how it goes

Yup, I'll definitely try to shorten the points, anyway I have no idea who I'm up against so can't plan too much until I see him play.

Just got home, was an easy win against some 27 year old. 6-1, 6-0. I served like a god and got a quick 3-0 headstart, after that I didn't really let him into the match since I knew I wouldn't be able to play long rallies so I shortened down every point and it worked surprisingly well.

Also won the doubles match 7-5, 6-1.

Entire team won 4-0 (third 4-0 win in a row) and we're #1 in our league atm (which isn't that great anyway so it's about time we advance, but still 3 matches left so anything can happen).

Right now we're in the 3rd division (with 8 teams in each division) and we'll probably advance to 2nd next year. There's like 8 divisions in total I think.
