A few pictures from Shelby's last match of her tournament this week. she went 3-1 for the round robin tournament and beat a girl ranked in the state. With her win today, she was the runner up in the tournament and earned her first trophy and some much deserved ranking points for her performance in the tournament. She now will get ready for her next tournament this coming week.
A couple of pictures from Shelby's latest tournament at the Holly Tennis Center. She won 2 out of 3 matches so far for the tournament and has a chance to get second place with a win on Saturday.
Shelby is coming along in her tournament play each tournament. She won her match today 6-4 7-5 to win the consolation draw for the tournament. She is developing her new two handed forehand and has become a lot more consistant each pratice. before we know it, she will be playing on center court at Wimbledon.
Shelby had a better tournament and played much better at the Meadow Creek event. She was nervous again for the first round and was more comfortable during her second round match and played a lot more consistent during the 2nd match of the event. She keeps improving each tournament and should notch her first round win soon.
Shelby had a rough tournament at the JCC open. Still trying to get rid of the nerves during these events. She struggled to find her form when playing new kids she doesn't know. we are practicing 4-5 times a week right now trying to get ready for the next event, the Meadow Creek Tournament this weekend. She will try to find her form during the tournament that she shows in practice. she has 4 tournaments in the next 4 weeks so we will try to get used to calming our nerves during the matches. a few pictures below form the JCC open
Along with playing tennis, Shelby is learning how to take care and keep her equiptment in tip top shape. She strung her first 2 rackets today with help from her Dad,so starts the long career of a player-stringer!!!!
