I had just picked up tennis and thought i was pretty good at it. My friends and I decided to ask 2 girls along 1 fine day so that we can have a mixed doubles game. The girl that was with me was someone I fancied for quite some time. Halfway through the game, I suddenly chanced upon an opportunity to show off my recently acquired volley skills. I was standing way back (with my partner not too far in front off me) and I gave it my all. the tennis ball flew with such might.... right into my staring partner's eyes... and she promptly collapsed and fainted... took quite a while before she woke up. Totally embarrassing for me especially when I was trying to impress her with my great tennis skills. In any case, I blogged about your <a href="http://www.blogcontestcentral.com/blog-contest-to-win-a-tennis-bear/">tennis bear blog contest</a>.

Really, I was trying to impress the beautiful lass next to me. Big mistake! My opponent hit a great swerving ball. I knew I wasn't going to reach it but playing the hero, I stretched. Next thing I knew, I had done the split and torn my hamstring. My partner even had to help me up. Most embarrassing! I never had the courage to ask her out for a game after that!

Before I was a kick-arse singles player in high school (*heart flutters as she relives past glory*), I played doubles. I made the ultimate newbie mistake: I was at the net and my partner was taking for-<em>evah</em> to serve. I turned around to see what the hold up was and POW! Right in the eye. Needless to say, I had a shiner for a week. Sexy! BLACK-EYED JODIE

I used to tell him that tennis wasn’t that hard of sport and that anyone could do it. So we made a bet that I could beat him in a match of tennis. I was so confident that I told him I only needed one week to practice. I bought a racket and some balls and used my girlfriend as a human target. A week came around and it was time to play. Long story short, he embarrassed me on the court. There were even other co-workers standing around watching and laughing at me. He never let me forget that day.
