April 2016 – The Payne Chronicles

Alex and Sam had their first tennis match of the season. Alex and Sam both lost their singles match – neither won any of their sets (8-0). The doubles matches were much better as Sam and Ty ended up losing 8 sets to 5 and Alex and Troy won their doubles match 8 sets to 5. Alex and Troy had a death match that would just not end – going at least an hour and a half. At one point, Mom, Sam and Dad all went back to the car to get warm as it was quite breezy. After sitting in the car for almost 30 minutes, we all thought the match would be almost over. In reality they had only played 2 sets during that time. The last set lasted at least 20-25 minutes by itself and all the parents on the sidelines were laughing about missing dinner and how much longer it would go on. The match had at least 10 match points before Alex and Troy finally ended it to everyone’s relief.
