Another Saturday, Another Invitational Win

This Saturday's tennis invitational took us to Wabash.  It ended up being the same format as last weekend's as there were only three teams playing today as well.  This time it was a surprise as a team cancelled early this morning due to Covid exposure.  The cancellation gave the Bruins some extra time before their first match started.  They didn't mind as they filled their time practicing, hanging out and telling stories.  I was glad that we brought extra snacks for everyone as they had time to enjoy those as well.

Cameron's first match was against Wabash.  He was the last one to take the court as the Wabash and South Adams match ran long.  Cameron took advantage of his opponent's slow play early and soon found himself in complete control of the first set winning 6-0.  By the time that his second match started all four of the other Bethany courts had finished each winning in straight sets.  As the second set started Cameron's opponent must have caught a second wind as his play improved dramatically.  Cameron had to work a lot harder to win points.  Thankfully, he continued to play well and soon found himself the victor with a 6-4 win.  

All of the other Bethany courts had started their second match against South Adams by the time Cameron finished his first one.  In fact, Ethan had finished off his second opponent at number 3 singles before Cameron even headed back to the court.  The #1 singles opponent from South Adams was more consistent than his first one, but did not have the big serve that Wabash did.  He hung in there with Cameron for the first set, but in the end lost a close one.  Cameron took control early in the second and soon found himself a winner in straight sets again.  It was a lot of fun to watch as they were the last ones to finish this afternoon and everyone from both teams was watching and cheering loudly.  We were extremely proud of how well Cameron stayed focused.  He won countless points at the net today and hit multiple down the line winners.  We hung around afterward to watch the trophy presentation and to take pictures.  There was a lot of celebrating to do since each of the Bethany courts won both matches in straight sets today.  What an awesome day it was on the tennis courts.
