The one day I play well, our team loses!

Well as you may not know, I’m quite the tennis enthusiast and earlier on in the year, a joined a competition on Monday night. Though I’ve been playing tennis for a few years (following for ages), this was my first taste of any form of competition.

The format is, you have 4 members on your team playing one  night playing against another team of 4. Each person partners everyone else to play a pro-set (8 game set).

I’m the type that’s inconsistent and match play does not reflect from in practice, but hey, when does it ever? Anyhow, I play really well. I didn’t go for too much and used my mind a bit more than usual, and I did a few nice drop shots, even if one or two of them were mishits. :p

I won all my matches comfortably, 8-3, 8-2, 8-4, but we still lost the whole tie by 3 games 33-30 because my teammates lost almost all their matches 8-1. I can’t say I’m not annoyed, but at least it was close and I played well. I don’t really care about how the team does as long as we are in the top half of the ladder… It’s my first season with this guys and also my last. I think next year I’ll try WDTA on saturdays.]

In other news, I fear Mirrorcle World won’t reach 200k. =( Last week it sold 3.3k to bring it’s total to 181k. It’ll outsell Startin’ (188k) but 200k looks so close yet so far away. Bummer really. TOKYO STAR will reach 200k I assume, if only just. Miliyah sold 7k last week and stands at a total of 171k. The sales for TOKYO STAR have been rather steady and good so I hope Miliyah can do it. Something also tells me 60s70s80s by  Namie “Black Diamond poacher” Amuro has a great shot at 300k. And funny Madonna, she has broken so many records worldwide and stuff, well her latest one has got to be, lowest selling album in Japanese music history to top the weekly album charts. She sold a total of 33k, as if last weeks chart topping effort of 55k wasn’t bad enough!
