This weekend I had a tennis tournament in Saint Peter mn. I was the #2 seated in the tournament. I had to play in the quarterfinal against Simon Guzan. He is ranked #74 in Minnesota. South Dakota and North Dakota. I played good and beat him 6-1/6-1. Next up Nathan Parsons.

In the semi-final I had to play Nathan Parsons. Nathan Parsons is a good player he has already beated me 7-6/7-6 in the summer. But today I was too good and beat him 6-2/6-2. Now I had to play the #1 seated Sebastian Vile or I had to play Nikita Snezhko in the final.

In the final I had to play Nikita Snezhko. Nikita Snezhko is the guy that I played in Lakeville last week. I played so good today and won the final 6-7/6-0/6-3. I was so happy about the great come back. I had a lot of fun today again and got a lot of points and a super nice trophy.

Tournament

On Saturday november 14 I had a tennis tournament,
the first match I played was against Austin Wong, the #8 seeded in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. He was placed #2 in the tournament and I had to play him in the first round. I played incredible and I beat him 6-0/6-0. Iwas very happy about that and could'nt wait to play in the quarter final.


In the quarter final I had to play Nikita Snezhko. He is ranked #35 in the three states. I played my best tennis and beat him 6-3/6-3. I was very happy to play such a good match and get into the semi-final.


Sunday november 15,

I had to play at 10:00 am in the semi-final against Aanik Lohani. He is ranked #10 in the three states and he is ranked #3 in this tournament. I played a good match but he won 6-3/6-1. Now I had to pay for 3rd place.


Playing for 3rd,

For 3rd place I had to play Brody Ryan. He does not play many tournaments but he is incredibly good. I played another super great match, just too bad I lost. I never played a 3rd set before and I have never played such a long match. I lost 3-6/7-6/6-7. The match was 3 hours and 5 minutes long. I was disappointed after I lost 5 match points. I was really close to winning the match. So I am kind of disappointed after loosing the match. So I ended up with getting 4th place.


It was the hardest tournament I had ever played. I had a lot of fun today again and I hope I'll get some points for playing this tournament.


My next tournament is on November 20 in Saint Peter, Minnesota.

See you later My fan's

Nick Bollettieri

Hi Everybody,

On October 24 I had a training session with Nick Bollettieri, Nick Bollettieri is the worlds best tennis coach. He has coached 10 of the #1 tennis players in the world. I got his picture and his autograph. He looked at my tennis and thought it was really good.

Tony Larson,

My new coach is Tony Larson, Tony Larson is ranked #1 in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. He is super good, and is my coach. He gives lots of great hints to make me a better tennis player.

Stringing machine,

My dad and I bought a tennis machine to string our raquets. The first three rackets we stringed weere for me. It took me 3 days to brake a string. My dad and me are very busy buying strings and stringing. I have now had three different strings in two weeks.

Tournament,

I have a tennis tournament coming up on the 13 of November. It is a championship level 5 and I am really looking forward to playing it. I am now ranked # 29 for boys 12 and under in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota.

Happy birthday,
