cool, cool, cool!!!

antoine

great. me me me me me.

my man

when you just rally, if you hit a great shot in 10 tries, you feel so cool from the great shot; when you play game, you hit 10 good shots but not win a point yet, only one bad shot make you lose a point, and you feel so bad, that's the difference between the rally and playing game on testing how your shot look like, so play game as much as possible to let it stand real test.

when you play a lower level player, your favorite forehand shot give you a lot of winners, but when you play against a much higher level player, suddenly you feel your shot get broken, instead of giving you a lot winner, it give you a lot of errors, in stead of killing your opponent, it perfectly set up for you to get killed, it means you need get better, realistic picture of your weapon, so go around to find better player to make your shot improve.

my plan:

create a website;
create a chinese tennis player club(not exclude other player);
create a player profile database(you manage your own profile), and easy to search;
rank all the players(sorry not by what you say, but by the performance in the tennis action we have), so it's easy to find your own level player;
hopefully, you will see these in half a year.
provide more tennis info:  free court(map for the postion), cheap tennis clubs or special membership, tennis tournament in montreal, tennis equepment and store with good discount , demo(you can try for some days etc.);
provide more comunication media;
provide media for player trade equepment, info etc.
etc. etc. whatever is good or helpful to tennis lovers.
welcome all new ideas.

but first, start the action: find all the good free courts in montreal, post it here, routine play tennis somewhere, and start to play game for putting you in the correct position in the list, but if more than 6 players, we need arrange two places.

my man

I totally agree with Antoine that the most enjoyable thing in tennis playing is your improvement(physically, mentally, emotionally, technically, tactically, strategically... a lot more), and there is no end to the improvement.  when you play game, if you pass a level, you immediately go for the next higher level, if you pass all the level, then you won't play that game any more, there is no challenge on you, and you don't need improve much any more.  your opponent in the tennis game is the same, you always want him/her higher than you, or you always want enough challenge from your opponent, you never feel very happy for beating a beginner(unless you win big money by that victory, you will get very happy and excited if you beat a player you never beat before(you have a break through).  if you feel your 100% effort(performance) is not enough to beat a player , then you have to try 110% effort(I assume you improve 10% in this case), if still not enough, then 20%, 30% more....., if one day, your opponent still play the same high level tennis, and you beat him/her, then that means you really improve(or improve enough for beating him/her).  so real good competition is cooperation between two opponents(actually prefer using "partners"), both players must be honest, or give each other all the problem they can give to let opponent solve(improve), give enough challenge to each other to make them better and tougher(physically and mentally tougher).
same as in school learning, the exam mark(tennis game result) is the only the test or mark on how much you learn(how high performance your can play ),  for 1+1 = 2 question(play with beginner), you get 100% mark(extremely easy win), but  if you play with Agassi, you can not win single game even you try 200%(even you break your arms or legs or lose all the energy or water in your body), so we should not pay more attention to who we beat, who we lose to, but how much we enjoy our playing, performance, improvement, how much fun we get in our game(sorry winning always has more fun in losing although you learn more from losing than winning), you win you improve(learn), you lose you even improve(learn) more. just in montreal, I can beat a lot of players for sure, but at the same time, there are tons of players can beat me too. if a player consistently beat me, I will like consistently play with him/her, the only thing I feel bad is if I can not give him/her enough challenge to push him/her to go to higher level, in this case I am not good partner, since I get more than I give.

talk to you later.

非常好,隐居多年的高手终于重现江湖,蒙城华人网坛可喜可贺的一件事情,也证明了鄙人眼光没错,从看到赵先生的第一眼便知道其人有专业水平.

说到网球,其实我本人更希望打的更有一些规律,比方说冬天时每周三五晚进行两场比赛,没次几乎要进行至少两个小时,周三是固定的对手,而周五则根据上周的成绩会遇到不同的对手,这样每次比赛过后都会有一些体会,下次会尽力在这方面注意,我知道自己欠缺的是什么,有些是限于身体条件,有些是通过一定的训练可以解决的,这也是我不但要比赛而且还要训练的原因.

提到对网球的兴趣,个人也有不同的乐趣,我的乐趣在于奔跑和知道自己在什么地方得到了提高,而不在于战胜了什么对手,当我体会到在某一环节取得了进步时远比战胜了对方高兴的多,这也是我试验一些动作的根源.

本周六我一定到场,如果不下雨的话.

明天天气不错,哪位准备开战可给我电话.

playing tennis(especially play game) need inner power (QiGong term), resent Western term is mental power(I believe it's from eastern term or Chinese term), so tennis game is also called mental game, believe it or not is up to you, if you believe it, it means you already feel it, if you don't believe, it means you have not felt it yet, don't worry, maybe some day you will, it's just sooner or later if you keep trying enough, and trying hard enough.
look at the world top 50 professional men and women players, there is no same forehand or backhand ground stroke, but they all can play very good tennis. so it's not about the outside look , but about the inside stuff , the stuff behind the face.

I am not tall, I am not very fit, I have injury in my both knees, I can not move fast, I don't have big weapon, but to tell you the truth, I still can play solid game, I won East Canada Chinese Tennis Tournament single championship twice about 10 years ago in Montreal, I don't win it anymore, probably I can say because it's not hold here any more.

now I move worse, have too much weight on my almost broken knees(75 kg), I have not played very much game for several years, but I still believe I can play solid tennis game, and I want to meet any player who want give me challenge to push me go higher(and make my knees worse), so see you this coming weekend.

Saturday: from 10 am to whenever you like stay there(but only you).
Sunday: same time.
place: parc rene-veillet at park lane(street), greenfield park(city) in south shore.
it's hard court, surface is not bad, and it's free(for you, since I buy the key for the court)
for detail, email: yongtaoz@hotmail.com
or call: 450-465-8345 (home), or 514-286-9504 ext 232 , speak to Michael.

by the way, if you need re string your racket, I can do it for you, I charge much less than the store, and I'm much more professional(I have done a lot of research and test on stringing racket with different string for my daughter to help her improve tennis level) and I do the job much faster(basically as you request).
and I also provide tennis lesson, but sorry so far I can not give free lesson although I have the passion on teaching.

好端端一个修女岛被你们几个臭道士给糟蹋了。

Knight 怎么没到？另外，还有一个跑不死的Danny已回蒙城。今年夏天有戏看了。

寂寞中,我已练成传说中的不死神功,跑不死呀,哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈:d

Antoine的不死神功的确利害，配合无影腿之后，已经到达人球合一的境界。球在哪里，antoine就会在哪里出现。在球没有被打爆之前，antoine是不可能觉得有丝毫疲惫的。而且，值得一提的是Antoine的绝招：“霹雳落地擒拿手”。就是在球刚刚落地，还未弹起之时，已经击出高度，速度，落点具佳的球，让人防不胜防。
续“不死鸟”Antoine之后，本周又有“外界”大侠练成“八爪神功”。简单的讲，就是可以用弹簧手打高调球，用棉花掌击出擦网下坠球，而其手中的独门兵刃“大头幻影旋风拍”，在网前的舞动，就像是一堵墙，滴水不漏，有如长了八个手臂。
由于昨日与两位大侠激战修女岛，历时5个时辰，耗尽了体内的真气。不得不暂时闭门修炼，调养气血。待来日再出山收拾你们。
