标题: 网球迷party正式通告！！！
大家好！
tennis 球迷 party 安排基本如下：
本次活动分为两部分，6月19日12点开始于monk球场，六月26日10点暂定于lachine球场和下午3点于angrignon公园。
一，下周六（六月19日）12点至3点之间，请所有感兴趣的球友来monk球场聚会一下。
      基本目的是相互认识一下，将定级的方法研讨试验一下，并为下次聚会确定基调。
      定级办法如果确定的快的话，当天我们就可以开始给大家订级，方便大家将来以球会友。
      我草拟的办法如下，如果大家有什么不同意见，欢迎提出来。发贴，email, 或者当天直接说
      都可以。
      具体办法如下：
      1。本定级“赛“是本着为初学者定级的目的，以相互提高为宗旨，采用回合制和胜负制结合
            的方法予以定级。
      2。 1级：打小场（发球区）对打5回合以下者。
            2级：打小场（发球区）对打5回合以上者，打大场5回合以下者。
            3级：打大场5回合以上，且下手可以发球5发3入界者
            4级：打大场5-10回合，且可以上手发球5法3入界者
            5级及以上者(5+)：打大场10回合以上，正反手均匀有力，且可以打比赛者
      3。  本定级“赛“制定到5级，5级以上者请相互独自约时间，另行较量。如需进一步订级，将
            参考国际业余选手标准，及比赛积分制进行。
二， 6月26日上午继续或者正式定级，下午烧烤

本次活动是希望能活跃我们的网球群体，给大家一个互助的空间,热烈欢迎每一个player的到来。
希望每一个热爱网球运动的人都投入一些热情到这次活动其中来。无论您是高手还是初学者。届时希望高手们能现场给与指导，为我们这项运动打下良好的基础。同时，我们也希望当天能看到一场高手之间的较量。
另外，6月19日当天我们会登记6月26日本次烧烤+网球赛活动的正式参加人数，姓名，联系方式。届时请大家交5元现金，作为活动费用（主要用于购买烧烤食物及饮料）。如果哪位同道，有烧烤用具，请您尽量提供，在此万分感谢，并请提前和我们联系。

（monk 球场于monk地铁站出口，沿Rue Allard向西行两三个路口，左手边一个大教堂的背后。）

oops, happy to see so many girl players (sorry, I don't like the word female.) give us positive response. Tennis is a kind of sport of elegance. Let's learn to play it elegant, even when we are grey hair many years later.

Last weekend, I saw one of my buddies taught his 5 years old daughter to play tennis. It was really nice. Wish it would be sooner that I could do the same for my daughter.

To all tennis fans, one last gathering announcement.

We may make friends and match partners then.

Have a great fun during the short summer of Montreal.

(In case of possible rain, it would be poseponded until the weather allows on the same day. Pls check forcast or call Eddy to confirm.)

标题: 感谢大家！
感谢大家的参与，今天的活动基本达到预期的目的。
据不完全统计，到场24人，定级17人。
因为本人缺乏组织经验，可能有些朋友没有玩儿的尽兴, 敬请原谅。
我会尽快将各位的email做成通讯录，发送给大家。
下周六BBQ请有时间的朋友尽量来，时间定在早上10点, MONK球场集合。
请有条件携带用具的朋友，提前通知我们。如果届时使用租赁用具，我们将分摊费用。
谢谢大家！下周见！
EDY

另：RICHARD, LILY, CLARK, CHOU YU. 下周四我会联系你们，商量准备供给的问题。
现有7人交费。

能否在网上发通讯录？

作者: Edy 时间: 2004-6-19 18:39
虽然在网上发通讯录更简单，但是我想这不是个好办法。
毕竟没有人授权我们公开这部分私人信息，在网上公布email地址至少可能带来垃圾邮件的危害。
所以我还是会发到你们的邮箱里去。
如果是出于约球方便的考虑，请自愿在网上单独发帖。
也可以考虑将来搞一个约球网站，就像国内的一样。但是要视具体网球人口的多少而定。
希望大家谅解！

刚刚看到这个组织, 很快感受到里面温馨的气氛

希望能够加入,不过很遗憾本周六有事不能去了.下次还有活动嘛?
我只是个初级菜鸟,根据分级的标准,我铁定是在一级了, 希望将来跟各位多多学习,分享这个美丽的夏季:rolleyes: ps:在这里买了个网球拍,从来没有打过,以前学的那一小点估计早就还给老师了

作者: color188 时间: 2004-6-23 01:42
烧烤在大公园里，离球场很近。另外，我们应该有足够的车辆。

刚开始练球，大家一定都是一级。重要的是，我们要给自己一个目标：到今年秋季我应该到几级。

每次经过球场，总能看到很多东方面孔。然而个人希望看到的是，每个东方人都有让人侧目的球技。要让本地人感觉到，这些新移民能带来更大的社会进步，而不是和他们争场地，抢饭碗。

标题: 让人生气
今天早上看比赛的时候解说很气人，说什么不知道中国人也打网球，还有说郑洁让世界知道了漫场吓喊的网球运动员，还有什么身高比报的5‘6明显矮很多，还有一些太坏的话被卡掉了

北京时间6月22日，2004年温网第二日比赛在英国温布尔顿继续开赛，最令中国观众关注的比赛的是在中心球场举行的首场比赛——由中国小将对阵赛会一号种子选手小威廉姆斯。经过一个小时的苦斗，郑洁0-2不敌小威，两盘的比分是3-6和1-6。尽管郑洁的飞毛腿在比赛中给小威造成一定压力，但是彪悍的美国女将利用自己强大的力量令郑洁落败。实力远不及对手，中国小将还是在比赛中让卫冕冠军见识了中国球员的坚韧和不服输的精神。20岁的郑洁在历史悠久的温网中心球场上留下了中国球员的印记。
　　这是两人的首次对阵，此前郑洁曾在迈阿密大师赛中对阵大威，尽管落败对手，郑洁和教练都认为这样与世界顶尖高手的比赛有助于提高自己在比赛中的抗压力，而由于海宁被淘汰，郑洁在今年法网中无缘对阵世界排名第一的比利时姑娘，但是此后她打入16强的佳绩书写中国网球选手在大满贯赛事中的最好成绩。

　　身高1.63的四川妹子郑洁在1.77米的小威面前显得更加娇小，郑洁一身简约的裤装上阵，而小威仍然身着一套新潮的碎群边时装网球超短裙登场。此次比赛也是第一盘开局，郑洁率先发球。利用接发球抢攻和上网截击，小威一举破发成功，1-0领先进入自己的发球局。第二局的比赛简直成了小威的个人表演，强力的发球和回球让郑洁毫无还手之力，一记漂亮的ace球，小威再下一城。

　　此时0-2落后的郑洁并没有慌乱，在自己的第二个发球局逐渐找回了昔日的沉稳，两人长时间多回合的比赛赢来观众阵阵掌声，郑洁回球得分，中心球场的观众爆发出长时间的掌声，中国姑娘的坚持和韧性赢得了支持。利用一记漂亮的反手回球，郑洁保住了自己的发球局。而第四局比赛中，郑洁更是逐渐把握了比赛的节奏，利用小威一发成功率低和非受破性失误，郑洁连取三分，也拿到了小威的三个破发点。但是令人遗憾的是，小威的重炮开始继续发挥威力，两人战至平分，在对拉中郑洁拿到本局的第四个破发点，可惜最终小威再次将比分拉回至平分，而且没有再给郑洁机会，拿下自己的发球局。这也是郑洁在本盘比赛中的最好机会，可惜经验和实力欠缺的郑洁最终没能把握住机会。

　　此后，郑洁和小威各自拿下了自己的发球局，双方比分战成3-5，郑洁如果能保住自己的发球局，那她仍有机会在的第一盘比赛中与小威继续对话。强势的小威利用回发球强攻再度破发成功，小威6-3拿下第一盘。尽管两人的一发成功率都相差无几，而小威的在第一盘的二发得分率高达92%，而郑洁只有可怜的40%，小威的14次主动得分是她能破发并最终获得首场胜利的主要原因。

　　双方的第二盘比赛中，小威一扫开局的紧张情绪，轻松拿下自己的发球局，在郑洁的发球局双方展开拉锯战，一度战成五次平分，面对坚韧的中国选手，小威在自己的第四个破发点才破法成功，小威2-0领先。在接下来小威的发球局中，双方也战出四个平分，尽管利用积极的跑动和时机合理的穿越球获得两次破发机会，但是实力和经验明显占优的小威还是顺利保住了自己的发球局。接下来的比赛中，小威没有给郑洁太多机会，5-0领先，而郑洁还是坚强地拿下了自己的发球局双方战成5-1。胜利在望的小威情绪上发生了一些波动，在她的发球局中再次上演了第一盘的惊险场面，郑洁又是连拿三分，拿到三个破发点，但是小威利用ace球和强力回球迫使郑洁出现错误，双方战成平分，尽管此后郑洁再度拿到破发点，小威还是获得了最终的胜利

标题: Bbq 活动通知！
本月26日，周六，10：00am
monk球场集合，然后一起去angrignon公园烧烤
希望有车的朋友开车来，方便一些，也可以给没开车的朋友提供一个方便。
没车的朋友，不用担心，我们保证座位供应。

请各位带好自己的拍子，酒足饭饱，如果有兴趣请挥拍上阵。
另外，本次活动前和BBQ其间，我建议大家考虑一下如下提案：

网球被认为是一项高雅，高尚甚至高级（在中国）的运动。
其实我更认为这是一项充满韵味又富含哲理的运动。
如果你喜欢她，就更需要你理解她。
网球既要动又要静，既要激情又要优雅，既要全力以赴又要把握分寸。
随着你对她的认识一天比一天深，你会发现她所展示的魅力是一言难尽的。
然而你的水平的提高和对这项运动的痴迷程度是与一个重要因素分不开的--- 一个好的球友，一个 matched partner
如果你总能和与你水平相近或稍高的对手过招，那么你会感到无比的乐趣。
但是，如果你的水平比你的对手低很多，或许你会感到沮丧和压力，或许你的partner会感到索然无趣和无所收获。
(这在某种意义上有些像找男/女朋友）
如果你的水平比你的partner高很多，不用惊奇，相反的事情便会发生在你的身上。
（如果你陪你真正的男/女朋友练球除外）
这是打网球的人的一个普遍的现象，也是这项运动不易普及的一个跟本原因。

针对这种现象，
成立一个网球俱乐部可能是一个较好的解决方法！！
在这里，我们总是可以较容易的找到合适的选手练球，从而体验网球带给你的快乐。

一个俱乐部不仅可以提供良好的氛围和系统的训练，而且可以增强对网球的理解和兴趣，平添一份强烈的归属感。
虽然我们上周六已经组织了一次活动，但是那本质上只是一次签名交流，不是真正有组织的活动。
如果大家认为这是一个可行的计划，欢迎讨论，跟帖或发email to：edywise@hotmail.com

在此我把我的初步想法提出来供大家参考：
1。每周定期教练，练习，交流，比赛；
2。一起观摩精彩赛事的录像和实况；
3。争取现场观看"大师杯“ ，“AT&T, Rogers" 加拿大现场比赛；
4。练完球之后，如果你还有精神，一起喝一杯啤酒。
热烈欢迎讨论！！！！！

（另外，在此我要向那些上次活动不巧没有出席，但是又很想得到球友名单的朋友道歉。我之所以不能给你们这份通讯录，是因为在没有得到大家的同意的前提下，我无权把这份有关私人信息的文件发给任何人。请原谅！请你们参加下次活动时，正式申请加入我们，或直接找你感兴趣的球员要联系方式）

祝大家周六胃口好！
谢谢大家！！

标题: negative response
Hi, tennis buddies.

it's pleasure to meet you guys on tennis court last weekend.
I really believe the players I saw play pretty good tennis, but forgive me to cut all my good words on your good part,

especailly on some very good players, here I want to point out some mistakes I saw, and I think they are common for beginner

to intermediate players.

1.  the racket grip(handle) size, it's too small (too thin) in some players, probably because they already played badminton

before they started to play tennis. it's completely different in badminton and tennis, badminton need use wrist a lot, but

tennis need use as less wrist as possible, if the grip is not big enough, then it's extremely hard to avoid using wrist when

you hit tennis ball, or it's very hard to make the wrist firm when you hit the tennis shot since the racket head feel very

heavy.  so if you want to feel the racket head is not that heavy and feel it's easier to keep the wrist firm, you can make

the grip bigger by using over grip, but don't use more than two grips for making the handle bigger, instead, choose bigger

handle racket.
2.  even with correct size of racket handle, you still need pay attention to keep the wrist firm, especially when you learn

how to make the shot, otherwise you can not control the ball, forget the power.
3.  don't choose light racket, espacially the ladies and the players with weak arms, instead, you should choose medium or

medium plus weight racket, the more racket weight force you swing racket earlier, not swing the racket fast, so it help you

get the correct shot making technique: swing erlier, smooth, and follow through longer, and more important, the more racket

weight gives you more control, more power, and less impact on your arm, give you more feeling of the racket, I think the most

misunderstanging about the tennis is on the racket weight. believe or not, the light racket is never for serious players,

it's just for misleading market.
when my daughter started to learn tennis with light junior racket at 7 years old, she hit the ball here and there or everywhere without control at all, one day her racket string was broken, so she had to use my spare racket, but almost immediately, she controlled the ball much better, from that day, she switched to regular racket and bye bye to the light junior racket for good.

I will give you more feedback,  hope it can make some difference to your tennis. but sorry most of my feedback will be negative, but don't call me negative man, for sure I will try to stay positive.

by the way, Zhen Jie played pretty good tennis, she had 10 break points! if she could convert 3 of them, then it will be a completely different picture, the pressure on William will be extremely high, actually William only broke her service game once in the first set. it's not easy when you play against a player with much higher ranking than you, it's hard to kepp your confidence high, keep calm and keep making correct shots.

enjoy the wimbledon.

作者: Edy 时间: 2004-6-28 13:13
标题: Thank you, michael
It is really helpful of your comment and instruction. I appreciate what you contributed to this fresh community on behalf of all players who may beneficial from your instruction.

From my experience, I used lots wrist to try to accelerate the speed of the racket before its head hits the ball. However, I think because I can't forsee every accuate point the ball is bouncing to, I hurted my wrist frequently. So what you said may be my weak point right now. I will try to correct my hitting habits. Thank you.

I would also respectfully like to solicit more comments and critique from you for players who are eager to improve and enjoy this sports.

Thank you.

作者: color188 时间: 2004-6-29 01:00
标题: That is very true.
"it's hard to keep your confidence high, keep calm and keep making correct shots."

Though I am not yet an advanced player, I am serious in tennis. Thank you, Mr. Positive My Man. I will learn more beyond tennis from you.

Zhen jie, as most of Chinese, lacks of confidence to face challenge and presure. Wish Chinese could do better in those slams.

标题: the service
this is my price for stringing racket:

$8 for restring labor(use you own string), most stores: $11 + tax;
I have several strings for you choose, the price (include everything: string and labor) is:

kevlar string by Ashway, best control and bite, also very durable: $25/each (most stores: $40 + tax);
Polyester by Gosen, the strongest string(last longest) in the market, $20;
several synthetic gut string: $20/each;

my phone number:
514-286-9504 ext 232 (8am - 3 pm)
450-465-8345 home
email: ytz4you@yahoo.com

you can send your racket to my home (south shore) or to my working place (down town, the cross of shabrooke and st_laurent). most of the time, you can get your racket back the second DAY, in weekend, you can get it back at the same day or the same time if you can wait.

I have strung racket for more than 5 years, so I am quite qualified stringer now, probably much more professional than any store sale persons. by the way , if you want to get suggestion from the store sale persons when you choose your racket or string, make sure you have a small talk with him/her, ask them how long they've played tennis and how often they play, if you can feel they don't play much, then totally ignore what they say, they are just sale persons, not tennis professional, they are not very clear about what they are talking about although they can keep talking much to you sounding like they are pro. I got two big lessons already, once they told me one string is excellent in feeling or playability, so I bought one reel(200 meters), it turned out to be terrible, once I asked for the strongest string(some customer needs), they recommend one string, I bought two reels, but it's not durable at all!!!

forgive me for the advertisement here, but I am sure you will get benefit: save money and time while get better service, you will see.

good luck.

Perosnally, I think Ashway is very good if you intend to improve your feel on the stroke. Lots of control and bite though it might be with higher price.

I tried 17' Ashway on my racket today. Amazing.

作者: my man 时间: 2004-6-30 08:22
标题: verify
Hi Edy, can you try again with: ytz4you@yahoo.com ? first three letters are : y t z,
I just tested sending an email to that address, it seems working, please don't attach virus

.
I am looking forward to your email.
good luck.

color188, you tried Ashway kevlar string or synthetic gut string? sure 17' feel better than 16' (always, because it's thinner), but it lasts shorter, so cost more money, so get the money ready

.

from my 18 years play and around 8 years coaching and 6 years stringing tennis racket experience(thanks all the customers to give me their valueable feedback or their experience of testing my string and my service), I found and once had a lot of misconcept or misunderstanding of tennis racket, string, and tennis shot techniques, and made a lot of errors or took long way when I try to master or coach some skills, I will try to write them down, and share them with you tennis buddies, hope it will help you not make the same mistake as I made, or at least make less error than I did, and go more directly to your target.

be patient, I will be back soon.

Michael.

Is there any tennis activity in this weekend?

作者: my man 时间: 2004-6-30 10:27
标题: topic 1
topic 1.  racket
1. the first important factor is the racket weight, if the weight is correct, not too light, not too heavy(actually must be

heavy enough), then it's pretty good racket for beginner to intermediate player. Sampras said that the first tip he will give his son for playing tennis is find a wood racket for his son(it's heavy and stiff), basically all the current rackets in store with the same weight as wood racket are far better than wood racket.
believe or not, if the racket is not heavy enough, it's hard to have correct swing and feeling for making shot, the lighter the racket is, the more chance you look like moving a badminton racket(or you don't look like playing tennis).  the secret

of making tennis shot is:  the racket hit the ball at the right time no matter how slow you swing the racket(the slower motion means you swing the racket earlier).  so get a heavy racket, swing slowly and smoothly to hit the ball, if it's too late to hit the ball, then try swing and hit earlier not faster, for sure heavy racket will help you NOT swing faster. if you can hit the ball with slow motion, then it will not be a problem at all for you to hit the ball with faster motion or normal motion(that's the goal of advanced level).  tennis, badminton, pingpong, WUShu etc. players(professional) all have a lot of practice of slow motion on and off court, with and without ball.
If you start with a light racket, it will be much more difficult for you to get correct tennis shot swing.
The common mistake for beginner is:  rush for the ball(because they swing the racket too late), then their shot motion is not slow and not smooth enough, no matter they are good or not, they just don't look like playing tennis, like playing playing badminton, so the tennis racket just look like a thicker badminton racket, they have to use the wrist, or the wrist can not be firm because the racket rush for the ball,  and even so, they still think their motion is not fast enough because they miss the ball, so they blame the racket is too heavy and believe it limits their racket speed, so they approach to the lighter racket for fast swing, that's really the wrong direction, instead, they should follow Sampras tip: switch to the heavier racket: wood racket, it will force them slow down the swing, but swing earlier and then they can follow through longer for the power.
believe or not, most players find the good and easy way to increase power is add more weight to the racket.

2. the weight ballance, the head is heavy or head is light, try head heavy first, if the racket is head light, then put some

lead tape on the racket to make the head heavier.

3. the frame is stiff or flexible, try stiff racket first, wood racket probably is the most stiff racket, it's really hard to generate power, but it give you a lot control, almost all the famous players(Michael Chang, Sampras, Courier etc.) started with stiff racket(more control, less power).

标题: topic 1
contining:

so you can follow them, start with stiff racket even wood racket(means you virturally take Sampras' tip ), the older model, the cheaper one is better, because probably it's exactly what they started with, people always want to take shortcut, they like the racket the famous player use now, but why not use the racket they started with? because you are the same level as they started, now you and they are completely different worlds, the racket is good for top level players is hard to be good too for you, read some comments from the racket users if you have time, a lot of users believe the racket Rodick and Federer use now are hard to handle, so the racket won't make the magic, only the hand which monipulate the racket will.

good luck to find a correct racket.

Danieal,
I am afraid there is no big event this weekend. I hope we will resolve the issue of building up tennis club by next week. By then, we are going to have a more clear plan for the future.

That is very true.

I have tried the Wilson Tour 90 (used by Federer) of Knight. It requirs more preparation and exact hitting zone. Only the advanced player like Knight can use it as a weapon instead of a burden. it is very heavy also (340g).

Later, I continued to test Tour 95 and Dunlop 300G. 300G with larger 98 sq head size and lighter weight (286g) suits me better. Due to limit budget, as Michael said that I have to prepare more money for the 17' string :wink: , I chose the HEAD Ti. ProTour (306g) at last, a discontinued model which was on sale (89.99 bucks).

But happily, I won the game against one local girl who coaches a tennis class at Monk with this brand new racquet.

Wish I could get some advice from Michael and improve faster.

Good preparation of Pros. :p

标题: single backhand
I agree, single backhand is not easy, but nothing is easy if you don't get the tricky point(the key or fundamental point), and nothing is impossible if you try enough with correct approach.
A tennis guy watched my daughter playing tennis last wee, he took a lot of photos and sent to me, I found some photos are good in displaying the key points in single backhand, so I poste them here, hope it help a little bit.

1. prepare early: bend knees, turn body enough, so all the power should come from the legs and body rotation. for flat or slice shot, start with racket high:

for top spin shot, start with racket low:

作者: my man 时间: 2004-7-1 08:55
标题: single backhand
the photos, from 1 - 5:

1. start with racket high, for flat shot and slice(even higher);
2. start with racket low, for top spin shot.

3.  hit the ball with arm staight, wrist firm(keep the same angle position between the racket and arm ), racket parallele going forward;
4.  keep the same as in 3, follow through;
5.  finish the hit with racket high in front.

标题: tennis club
Hi Edy, as long as you still have the passion and energy for the tennis club, it's always a positive thing to have and keep a club for all the tennis fans. it's not just specifically for tennis, it's also a social activity which will give everybody chance to have fun, life enjoy here etc., one more chance to find a friend here. since there is no need to make it that routine style, something like the party meeting in China, so I think it should have no pressure on anybody. I refused to apply for becoming a member of the party was mainly because there are too much routine meeting, it's waste of too much time which I have to use for playing tennis( I am serious), otherwise my tennis can not reach currect level although it's not very high.

作者: my man 时间: 2004-7-1 11:40
标题: negative again
sorry, I have to be negative again, in slow motion from video tape and the third picture above, it shows that Merry's hitting power from the legs and body rotation have a "leakage" when it is transfered to racket head, which means the power is not completely transfered through the shoulder, arm, wrist to the head of the racket. thery is no problem in legs(they do bend), shoulder(rotation is there) and arm(it does keep straight), the problem happens at the wrist(the weakest link in the power transfer), the picture shows that the racket doesn't parallele go forward(in order to keep body, arm and racket as a unit which is one of the fundamental points), the racket head go ahead or in front of the racket handle which means the wrist get released, it doesn't keep firm enough to make the whole racket parallele go ahead with the arm and should as a unit, the result is less power and less control, this is
the major common problem in almost all level players.

good luck for your single backhand.

作者: my man 时间: 2004-7-1 12:23
标题: single backhand
by the way, a lot of players use their arm to generate power when hit ground stroke(forehand or backhand), in this case, the body trunk , the legs(the much bigger and stronger, more poweful muscle) just get removed from hitting ball, it turn out the shot much less power and much less control.
After Agassi lost the US Open match last year, he said : "I just couldn't use my legs enough for my shots today", right, he could not move his legs well enough that day, which mean he IS OLD, he can not quickly recover from previous tough match any more. if the shot master Agassi can not get great shot because of less using legs, you will lose good shot too if you don't use your legs. pay attention to the great tennis players who have great power shot, almost none of them have big or strong arms, but none of them have weak or small legs and trunk!

作者: my man 时间: 2004-7-1 12:32
标题: singel backhand
so no need try to get "tennis arm" and tennis elbow

, just try to get tennis legs and tennis trunk, good luck for getting them!

标题: Tennis Tournament
Hi 大家好，

经过一段时间的认真考虑和市场调查，现决心组织一次网球赛，然后视赛事结果和选手参赛效果进一步考虑是否正事成立网球俱乐部。
组织本赛事的初衷是希望给大家提供一个学习，交流，自我认识的机会，希望得到所有球友的支持。考虑到不同水平的朋友的需求，本次比赛将为每位选手提供相同的上场机会，请大家于近期加紧练习，努力争取好成绩，如需本人帮助，可于每周六下午来monk球场切磋。
现将本次球赛初步设想公布于此：
1。报名：以双打为基本单位报名，报名同时另外自动成为单打选手。如果暂时未有固定双打搭
            档，我们将视情况帮助寻找合适的搭档。
2。赛制：以6人为一小组，种子选手加抽签产生，包含6名单打选手，暨3对双打选手。组内采用
            单循环赛记分制。除决赛采用3盘两胜外，其余比赛皆采用一盘定胜负。
            每组单打前两名与另外一组前两名交叉淘汰。双打第一名与另外一组同名次打淘汰赛。
            每组单打三四名与另外一组三四名交叉淘汰，以此类推。直至排出所有名次。
            另外如果时间允许，将进行以组为单位的优胜赛（类似于戴维斯杯）。
3。时间地点：本赛事预计于8月初开始进行4周（暂定于周六下午），每周3至4小时，每人预计需
            参加10场左右的单双打比赛。比赛场地暂定于monk球场。
4。费用：每人报名费20元（用于购买球，饮料，奖品及其他必要的花费），报名截止本月24日
            请通过email报名，tennismontreal@hotmail.com 并于本月底之前将报名费交至
            edy手中（每周六于monk球场，请提前联系）。
5。组织：每位参赛者既是球员又是裁判（交叉裁判），希望大家尽量做到公平公正。
6。奖励：视参赛人数而定，于赛前公布。

这将是一次非常难得的聚会联谊的好机会，请各位踊跃参加。关于赛制不当之处，请于指正！
Edy

如果大家想通过比赛提高水平，请报名，发email到tennismontreal@hotmail.com,谢谢支持。
如果大家想练球交朋友，最好各自联系，就近找场地。
暂时不打算组织大规模的聚会及练球活动，因为这会影响当地社区的正常网球活动，同时对我们水平的提高没有什么大的帮助。
如果有什么在网球上我可以帮忙的，周六下午我一般都在monk打球。
谢谢大家！
