Reflecting On a Match Won

Well, well, well..
It was fast and furious action in the squash courts today...
One burly player was confident and swaggering cos he has been away...
He was fresh and feisty, 1st set was a blitzkrieg, he was a runaway train...
Luckily he slowed down enough in the 2nd set game...
I believe in the fairy godmother and in fairy tales, they do happen...
How else you explain yours truly here charging ahead to 7-1.....
Before  the burly one was inspired to go for a racket change...
And rattled off enough consecutive points to make me all nervous...
Blessed fairy godmother, somehow  I managed to hang on....
Until it was over, a fortuitous 11-9 win in the final deciding game...
Let the record shows, a rubber set win 11-9, it's good for my ego...
Hohoho...
