Night Tennis is the best! Not too hot, not too cold... Pretty cool... And when you serve the ball(gotta throw up before hitting), there's no sunlight to shine into ur eyes. All around the court are high lamps, miniature size of those u can find around the stadium.Played from 7.45pm to 10.00pm. I had a break for abt 5min at 8.25, and a long one from 9-9.30(my 5 fingers on my right hand are numbed). It was my sis who kept on playing straight, with 2 5-min break(one at 8.25pm, one at 9.15pm).It was great! I changed a racket, this one is lighter for me(my size is small). And we watched videos of how Maria Sharapova served... =.= turns out we can bend our arm, so when I served, I use the badminton style(arms bended). It was easier..WAY EASIER! Phew!We also tried catching each other's balls.. I gotta use 2 hands, my sis used 1-hand method. Becasue I'm so used to badminton style, so if I use 1-hand, i'll use my wrist and nt my elbow... and tennis u gotta use elbow for 1-hand catch. Almost sprained my wrist when I tried one hand. That was it for me. 2-hands is slower, but at least I managed to get the ball across the net.Good newS? We can serve all balls across the net, w/o one leaving behind! ^_^ Some achievements.. Lol! :DIt was fun fun fun fun fun!!!!!!! gotta do it again, despite my left knee(front & back if it) were hurting badly after the whole game.
