6-3 6-4

We played our first match in the yearly Dutch Broadcasting tennis tournament in Hilversum, and lost.

I played really, really badly. Mostly due to lack of practice (3rd time I was on the court this year) and not having played a match in about four years. So I was very inconsistent.

On the plus side, my partner plays really well, our opponents were very nice people, it was sunny and dry AND we get to play another match in the losers pool.

Maybe we'll throw in some training hours before our next match.

Also, after 30 years I think I'm finally over the whole 'lose my temper, must break racket now' spiel. Which is nice.

... and I got a hot tip for a cool tennis club in Amsterdam that doesn't do vetting or has a waiting list.
