King Daddy Sports by TSG November Junior Open (Jr)

I had an Open tournament on Saturday, November 4, 2017 called the King Daddy Sports by TSG November Junior Open. 

My first opponent was Katia Childs ended in my favor, 4-0; 4-0. In the first set, I did a lot more slices and groundstrokes. She had a difficult time returning my slices. In the second set, I played more groundstrokes than slices; however, I played really aggressive with the groundstrokes. 

Some friends were with me...smiles are contagious!

My biggest supporter...my brother Zaky!

My second opponent, and finals since I had a bye in the Quarterfinals, was Sophia Jammar. I played many aggressive rally groundstrokes, trying to stay consistent and waited for Sophia to make mistakes first. I didn't know why I played with that mentality, I guess I just thought to adapt my strategies and tactics according to who was my opponent across the net. I was happy to have won the match, 4-1; 4-0.

I played good, but I know I can play better. I will work harder, try harder, and play harder. I will challenge myself to be better each and every time I step out on court. Now, next on my list is the Challenger in Beaumont...I hope it'll be my last one, if I win, before going to regular ball--Champ Level!

Thank you for being here and reading my tournament blog. I wish love and gratefulness be with you in whatever you do. 

Thank you...<3
