Tennis celebration fail.
In summer our netball and hockey fields were transformed into tennis courts. Finally a sport I quite enjoyed and for the first time ever I was excited about buying sports equipment. I remember choosing an awesome jet black racquet, it was wooden and heavy but it did the job.

I would be undefeatable!

Turns out I was as crap at tennis as I was at pretty much any other sport* so lost pretty much every game I ever played. I can't remember who I was playing against on this one occasion but as they had defeated me so soundly they felt a Tennis Pro style celebration was required.

Dropping his tennis bat and running towards the net I had the ideal view to witness him leaping across the divide, catching his foot on the top of the net and face-planting into the tarmac surface.

Win!


* Apart from Volleyball. For a short-arse kid I was ace at that.
