tournament time


This is the second summer Liam has taken tennis lessons, and he really likes playing. Lessons ended this week, and (not coincidentally) the city tennis tournament started yesterday. In Liam's age group (the youngest group for the tournament) eight kids signed up to compete. Liam won his first-round game easily, 8-3. Yes, I know that's not traditional tennis scoring. I guess they just do one set, and play until the first kid reaches 8 points. Anyway, the second round was more of a nail-biter, but he won his match in that round too, 8-5. And now he's off to the finals! Tomorrow morning he will face off against a kid named Nolan who is (we hear) very good. We can't wait to see how it goes! Either way, not too shabby for his first time, right?
