18 Jan, Fri, Tennis: Our Hall 2 Tennis Players faced off with strong opponents from Hall 10 today after a long day of lessons. Victory meant entrance to the quarter finals. Each player was charged with a certain determination and vigour, despite their gruelling schedule.
The matches were played concurrently, with our Male Singles going first. Derrick was on fire, constantly giving problems to the Hall 10 Captain, Donald. The shock was clear on Donald's face as he probably expected a easy match given his standards as an IVP player. Several long rallies were seen and cheers erupted with each point. Despite Derrick's pin point shots, Hall 10 grabbed the set.
At the same time, the Mixed Doubles were being played.

The Zi-Bros(Zi-Lin & Zi-Quan) were up against 2 giants from Hall 10 who used their height to great advantage, constantly neutralizing the lobs from our skilled Zi-Bros. Every game was close, the scores at 40-30. Hall 10 snatched victory of the set right under our noses.
Next, the 3 matches of Male Doubles, Female Doubles and Female Singles were played. The Male Doubles Alvin and Dominic were faced against a Kenryu-look-alike and a big, big behemoth. Ferocious serves were given and threatening drop-shots. Our hero Chin struck again, leading the pair to 2 victorious sets. Despite this, Hall 10 gained victory against us once again.
The Female Doubles Jia Hui and Wei Xin showed us what tenacity and courage meant. They never gave up a single point, running for each ball and shouting commands through their game. But this was not enough to avoid defeat at the hands of 2 very proficient opponents.

Lastly, Miyuki faced her opponent from Hall 10, a seemingly meek girl. However, Miyuki's opponent was a wall, returning every shot. But Miyuki was never disheartened, always hitting the ball left and right, drop-shots and lobs. The game was pulled all the way to tie breakers, where Miyuki rallied from 5-2 to 5-5, before losing the set 7-5.
For all the supporters that came down, thank you for your loud cheers and continual support. All the tennis players would like to extend their thanks to you.
Hall 2, you do us proud just by showing your spirits for every game.
