First Outdoor Singles of the Spring

It was a nice day, nice enough for the first outdoors tennis.   Rich is in town and wanted to play singles so we found this court in Mendota Heights and played for a while.  There was some wind, and the sun was shining into the eyes of the server on the north end of the court, but the sky was blue, and a long ways up there.  Lobbing is a different experience outside, and so are overhead smashes.


We played about an hour of tennis before my calf cramped up (again) and we quit.  I was reminded that singles is a more physical game and requires a different level of fitness.  And a few more ibuprofen as preventative.  It was nice to be outside on a day like today.
