I beat Michael Mclean yesterday in our Premier League competition, which helped my team win the money this week. We play in teams of 4 with each week's winners getting $10 each. It's our second team win in a row.
This was a cross over week, with the 1 seeds playing the 2s and vice versa (similar for the 3s and 4s). Mike's a 1 and I'm a 2, so I got a 3 point spot in the first game. With my captain Jen's advice, I tried drive serving as I had on the weekend down in Grand Forks.
It worked well, as I built a big lead - 10-0, and although Mike got several points, I held on to win that game - 15-9, I think. That meant I didn't get the 3 point spot in game two. And my serving wasn't quite as good in that game. We were still close, but Mike won 15-10, to force a tie-breaker.
Before the tie-breaker, Jen suggested sticking with a drive Z and occasional drive to the right for serves, as my drive serve to the left was coming off the side wall and Mike was killing it every time. The plan worked, and I got to match point at 10-7.
At that point, I'd served once for the match, and didn't close it. So, on the second attempt, I hit a drive serve left, and it hit the crack for an ace serve to close it out. Woo hoo!
