Well - the Friday ALTA match didn't go real well. I met my partner about 2 minutes before we stepped on the court which didn't help.

I actually played pretty good. My serve was good early and very good later in the match. My return of serve was deep with topspin consistently. Not crushed but deep in the court and hard to handle for the opponent. Also I was able to trade groundstrokes with the opponents without issue. Unfortunately, my partner, who was a very nice and consistent player was older (early 70s probably), and while he hit a nice ball, there was no power behind it, and once our opponents realized that - they took control of the net and dictated play, and my net game wasn't nearly good enough to trade blows with them. I've got to get better and more comfortable at the net. Especially, if I'm going to play higher in the lineup.
