Amazing week

On April 9, 10 and 11 came, I had the most amazing week of my life.

I went to the Festival of the North here in Minneapolis to see Martina Navratilova and Lindsey Davenport.

Navratilova has won 18 grand slam titles and 9 of those were at Wimbledon. Lindsey Davenport has won 3 grand slam titles and also played doubles just like Martina.

They had to play a match on April 10 as I went to to see them play. They had a fast service so Navritalova was probably going to serve and volley. It was a close match as Navritalova won 6-3. It was pretty amazing how she can volley. She picks the ball of the ground for a clear winner.

Wheaton was there too, as I got to hit a ball with him for a few minutes. I got to hit with him because I was helping with cleaning up the court and preparing water for the match.

I got everybody's signature and had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures:



































Two weeks after that I had a tennis tournament. It was a boys 12 and under at the baseline tennis center.
My first match was in the round of 16 vs Simon Guzan. He is a good player, last time I played him was when I beat him 6-1/6-1. But in the way he played now I nkew it was going to be hard. I took everything out of me that I could as I made a 6-4/6-2 victory. I was happy about my match because even though I won I had a though match.


In the Quarterfinals I had to play Samuel hochberger. He had a three sets in the previous round so he was probably tired. Last time I played him I won 6-3/6-0. I didn't find it too hard as I beat him with a big 6-0/6-3 win.

In the semi-final I had to play a really good player Jake Kuhlman. The #2 seed hit with a lot of power as I could not win and lost 2-6/3-6. Well now I have to play for 3rd place.

When I was playing for 3rd I had to play #3 seated Sebastian Vile. I have played him a couple of times in a double and only once in a single when I lost 2-6/2-6. But today he was too strong for me and won 2-6/1-6. It was to obad because I made the fault or he scored.

Well I had a great tournament,
So see you then my fans
