My Match analysis

Warming up playing Keane was probably the best thing I did to prepare for the match against Alex. Keane has some solid 4.0 techniques now and playing him means I have to have my concentration sharp. By the time I started playing Alex, I felt like I was in my zone, albeit only every other shot. It made the match much too close. It went to 5 games with match point on my racquet, but a serve down turned it against me in the tiebreaker. Throughout the match I was happy with my feet, springing to the balls. I got on my backhand confidently and played the ball cross court decisively. My serve was sufficiently deep. Where I lost points were service faults and errors on the short balls. Mostly the game was lost on the ebbing of confidence and concentration. Everything felt pretty good. I even played Jacinta and Keng for a few games afterwards. My good concentration and nimble feet continued through the night.
