Thanks for sharing, I can relate. my first one was PPA 70+ 4.0. got spanked, too. took two months off, long story I had no business playing 4.0. I had projected I would be 4.0 at a year. Traveled and never saw a court for 7 months. Did not change my rating. If I told you the whole story, it would be the comedy hour. We both have a lot to work on. I do believe I have a game. it just has not gotten from my head to the racket. The guy you were playing looks like a good tennis player. The first guy I played played for 7 years, I played for 7 months. he ended up winning the silver metal. The second guy I played won the bronze metal. Get this!! I had him 8-1, changed sides, and lost 15-11. After some thought, I worked through, and they were not that good, I played that bad. good luck.

Sounds familiar. In the loser bracket, I was up 8-1 and lost 15-13. 0 for 2 as a pro.
