About 6 weeks ago, a tennis center opened in my town. I joined and went to the junior beginner clinics twice a week. My first match was great, but it was the second that I played Hannah. Short, blond, and innocent-looking as a bumble bee, cute and fuzzy but if you tick it off....
After the match at the next clinic I told the coach that "I want an umpire if I play Hannah again. I don't want to have to win by 3 games and still lose."
When she played, the games weren't self-judged anymore, and no one wanted to play her, everyone knew.
She still fights with the ump., but it gets her nowhere.
