I was very loathe to play her, but felt I had to having entered the competition. Our match was on a hard surface court, and I stood at the other side of the net and saw that ball come swerving in towards me at head height.  I just missed loads of them or hit them in the net.  She was  serious Wimbledon material!! I can't remember the score - I didn't enter the competition again. Anyone else have a "tennis" experience?
