An amazing match !
1st set I was dominating !
2nd set she played good in the beginning of the set, she was leading 3/0. Then she beat me in the Tie Break. 7/3 I think.
3rd set Good Rallies ! she played well, but I had more chances than her.
Well after this match I was quite disappointed and upset about losing, but a day removed has given me some perspective.
As Kyuuji told me today, he played the match of his life. He was just amazing, on every ball and hitting harder than I've ever seen. There was a desynch unfortunately on break point right after i hit a winner into the open court, which is unfortunate, but no matter. I certainly did not play my best during the match, but I was happy because I kept coming back and fighting, even when I was down a break or down in a game. I actually played the important points really well, but Kyuuji played the rest of the points better. My movement and serve let me down, which was a problem, but I'm hoping to get them back soon and I'm feeling a bit better about my game today (hopefully).
Some of his extremely recent wins in the past day or two have been most impressive, and I want to wish him great luck in the tournament and the rest of the season. It was cute how shocked he was that he played so well, and for sure he shocked me

. No doubt he's top 10 right now, no doubt. If anyone thinks otherwise, they are just wrong
