Tennis is my favorite sport ever and I always feel like playing no matter what the conditions. Since I moved to Hanoi four years ago, I started to play in some competitions. This is the thrid time I've played in the Hanoi Heinneken Open but I always end up losing in the third round which is a shame - for me! I know I don't play all that well plus the mental side of my game is weak, which is 80% of the game. I hope I can play better this year and can grab something -maybe a prize - as a souvenir.
I lost in the socond round due to some back and shoulder injuries. It was a shame because I had worked really hard practicing for few weeks before. Oh well, That's sport!

Hmm....i love seeing VN girls in ao dai - they look so feminine...
ReplyDeleteI love to watch tennis but not to play.
ReplyDeleteTennis is a great sport and I am glad you play it. When I was growing up in VN I always wanted to learn how, but never took leasons. It is great that you tried and better luck next time!
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves tennis too. We used to play together all the time. I really miss it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on entering the tournament. Did you get some free Heineken?!
Curious to ask you: have you been to Hawaii? ever taste combination of vietnamese and hawaiian food? They are so good but I don;t have any pictures to show! Used to be on tennis team with high school for three years and now I'm way out of shape! =-(
