Let’s play tennis

Last time, it was too easy for me to collapse.
I knew the theory, but it was my first time with my body.
And I was smaller than my opponent.

But today, I couldn’t lose helplessly.

The weather was hot.
The tennis court we found again was wide and vast.
Contrary to my expectations, tennis easily tired me out.

My opponent was not easy.
My younger friend always had terrifying muscles, and they threw the ball at me.
With accuracy in every corner, my feet always moved slower than the ball.
Still, jumping here and there to hit the ball made me feel refreshed and exhilarated.

Today was not easy either.
I tried hard, but the game didn’t end easily, and I ended up losing again.

I felt that tennis players were amazing for leading tennis game for more than two hours.
I’ve watched the Australian Open tennis tournament on TV while in Australia.
I really wanted to go to Melbourne and watch the game myself,
But I heard that it’s not easy to get tickets.

I haven’t had a chance to play tennis since that day.
If I get the chance, I want to play again.
A winning Tennis game.

In my heart, it was the Australian Open.
