Poem
A Winner in 2017 OHANA Woman Div 1 There I was, on a rollercoaster of anxiety with many an anxious moment... Each time my player dropped a set against each of her squash opponents... In the Qfinals she suffered a 3rdset hiccup to a player junior in her years.... Dashing the high hopes that player could wrap up the game in 3 quick sets.... This rival is a fast improving hard hitting junior player, tricky as they all come... With a superior fitness and combative attitude, she was a constant danger until the game was done... Next in the semis was another junior, another fast and furious player... Who won the 1st set easily to set the pace, upped the ante to pressure my squash player.... Somehow my favored one prevailed to counter her opponent's energetic play... Refusing to be drawn into a chessplay with muscle and brawn and power play... So she made it to the final, there awaits top seeded player, a former international... Last year she easily outfoxed and outplayed my player 3-0 in that final... But for this repeat final, my player started off well and lead by 2sets initially.... Before a 3rd set loss, it was obvious the top seed was exerting control gradually.... My player hopeful was flustered, faulting someone for advising her to vary her game.. I was busy recording, wise enough to let the cookies crumble as it may.... Just managed to warn her that her rival was picking up the pace.... And that a real winner of any squash player should play a thinking varied game... Luckily she played decisively for a quick lead in the 4th game, raced to 4-0..... There were some anxious moments as she easily lost a couple of points.... Anxiety was all mine even as my player managed to lead comfortably on points... She had to do some desperate retrieving and gave away some stroke points... But long story short, it was one big joyous relief when the game was finally over... The 4th set was won over, the mission accomplished, what a great feeling all over.... When favored player emerged triumphantly as the winner when all was over... http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament.aspx?id=5E4ABBEB-3744-4BAB-940C-598E71343CB6
