Flo Rida Beats Chanomnom in Inaugural Summer Tennis Series



In what should be an intense rivalry going forward, Flo Rida beat Chanomnom 6-4 6-2 to win the first match in the summer tennis series. Although rain threatened to cancel tonights match, it the spirit of sportmanship it was decided that the game must go on. Balls were hydroplaning on the court and the wet court made traction very difficult but fun was had by all.

Going forward, it looks like we will try and play on Thursdays at the UT tennis courts on North Boulevard time TBD. Anyone is welcome to come out and play if they want as I'm sure we will have a range of skill levels coming out.

We're looking at playing again next Thursday at 7:30. I'll post something next week about it... but go ahead and keep it in mind if you want to try.

We utterly suck at tennis, by the way. But you can't have enough sporting events in your life.

Geoff said...

Sounds good... add it to the calendar.

Chandler said...

Is there drinking involved in this? I think it would really add to it. Every 3 games, both players shotgun a beer? You win a set, you do a shot?

Brooke said...

"we utterly suck at tennis" lol how long did it take to finish the 2 games?

Chandler said...

not long at all... since there weren't many volleys. just me hitting it into the net and Flo blasting it to the fence.

obviously I hit it into the net more. but basically every time someone swung a racquet... a point was scored.

Chandler said...

Can't make next Thursday but will try for following week. For all you peeps out there interested. They have a round robin at Davis Island (Clay courts) every Sunday 2-5. There are about 20+ people that show up. Round Robin is mixed doubles... after every 8 games - they switch you to different court/partner/opponent. It's fun, only $5bucks, and they provide the balls. I'll post something on main page as well.

I need to become somewhat competent at tennis before I play with people I don't know. But great idea Jen! Post it up!
