Last lesson, 3 students Play singles with Robert 1:2 lost, then serve a basket balls, then xxx Gabriel (I don't remember his name) and I play with Robert, got even or lost? Xxx can do really good exercise but lack of match experience.
Still 4 students during warm up run, I jump side way to left, in the end I fell on ground because I can't lift my left foot. Luckily the court is smooth, no bruise and bleeding. I blame the Tennis shoes. Quite different from my running shoes. It is good for stop but not for run and jump. Warm up practice, one always plays down the line, the other always plays cross court. Both have to keep running. I like this exercise. Slice, need not only brush the ball but also push forward. Back hand, fore hand. Expect the ball goes low with low bounce. Drop shot, back hand, fore hand. Expect ball drops just over net. Last 10 min. Play single. I lost all 3 games play with different students. I was trying to use new skills at wrong time. It has been long time I have not play singles. I did not focus on watching where opposite was trying to play. Serving is okay. Last Friday, I attended social at BTC as guest (I have not registered with any club so far). Hit balls with people and played first doubles game in this season for 2.5hrs. Last Sunday I served 120 balls as 1st serve. The success rate was about 70-75%
Still 4 students, someone paid registration but never show up! Warm up exercise - short, long, long, short, short, long, long, ... Practice run to net and back to base line. Overhead shot, from racket can reach net, side way to aim or move, drop racket back, hit with ~75 degree angle, timing 15 min. doubles match, 1:2 lost I have not served yet. Always hold racket in front during game.
Only 4 students show up 1 approach to net, than back to baseline 3 times, set position other than hit to the middle of court 2 approach to volley - forget to run to reach ball, using same side wrong foot ( like badminton) 3 serve and return Forget swing racket back as loop when serve Back hand return need to get racket ready before ball bounce on ground 个子矮好悲哀，每次上课热身时我都跟着Tara后面，她又高又胖至少175cm高，我跟她跟得不轻松，尽管我时不时还练跑5km，人家一步比我长不少。咳，我天生就不是块运动的料！
5 students Nothing interesting. It is disappointed class! The lesson runs between 9pm to 10pm. The instructors might have been tired. They don't want to serve balls to us. We just practice serve and return ourselves. 2 men play singles in last 15 min. for tie break. Even though my arm was sore and a little pain for one day after lesson. To avoid damage my arm I do not join any club this year. I plan to play twice a week including the lesson. That's it.
来了6个学生，Jessica上课，说明她也是教练。我喜欢她上课，很利索，练得多。热身之后她说我们步伐都需要改进，于是练正手和反手步伐若干次，每次打3个球：角，中间，角，正手，从左跑到右，反手从右跑到左。要点是先大步跑，然后小碎步调整。最后，正手先落右脚，forward左脚挥拍击球；反手相反，先落左脚，forward右脚，转体击球。我反手比较差，击球距离不是太近就是太远，而且挥拍方向不对，太高，应该横一些，cross body and open。 练完这些还有10分钟，打比赛，一边3个人，单打，一人打一下。我们这边实力应该强，但一开始尽是unenforced errors。不过最后我们略赢。这个游戏我喜欢。 今天跑得太多，临下课我小腿快要抽筋了，满头大汗，不过挺舒服的。也许是因为下雨的缘故，双膝都感觉rusty。应该不是打球打得，总共才一小时的课。
又多了一个学生，8个人了，不爽，喂球不均匀，有的人喂7个，有的喂3个，以后不想在这学了。 今天Jessica也在，不太清楚她是什么角色，胖了不少。去年在round robin认识她。她打球的每一个动作都完美、漂亮。打得象她这么漂亮的，一个俱乐部都难见到一个，但愿下一session还能在RR见到她。经她今天一解说才体会到，她就是把身体的所有动能在击球那一刻一起用上了。说起容易做起难，如果不是刻意想着要那么做，一般只用了胳膊。 今天上课练了2样。 1. Top Spin 用拍子brush the ball， from low to high。如果刷到了球，使再大的劲都不应该出底线。要求打到离底线1-1.5m的区域。刷球的时候手腕要flexible。用身体的动能，并不需要跳。看别人跳才发现很难看，象打乒乓球的抽杀。这是网球！ 2. Serve with spin 球要抛的略靠后，拍子在球侧面刷，从后向前，hit it up。先练这个刷球 动作 ，不管进不进发球区。 Hyram前俱乐部前总裁打来电话，没顾上接。
