Well I had a great match against the top player at my club, David.

I lost 11-8 in the fifth.
I've never picked up 2 games in one match before.
I've often lost 3-0.

There Is one Main factor that I think has made a difference.

1. A few weeks ago we didn't have a lot of people out to the club, so I played David 3 matches.
Two of them back to back.
I lost all three matches 3-0.
Then we played 3 matches of doubles that night, so I got to see about 6 weeks worth of serves in one night, plus the doubles serves, I only had to focus on spin, not location.

The next week I played him once, then 3 more times in doubles.
Literally the last half of the last game I was starting to dial in how to return his serves.

So now instead of giving him 4-5 freebies on his serve, now it's a serve or two. Which is no different than any peer.

I've never felt better about a lose.

I even beat him 11-3 in one game. I literally felt like I was on fire.
