5-11, 11-7, 6-11, 12-10, 5-11

My first and only game on the glass court was tough but fun: Tony is a very experienced player, who's played at the top level, so I really had to concentrate. I often hit my racquet against the side wall returing tight long-lines, often had to play a boast on a good length and got dazzled when Tony played a lob... but as the front wall took the pace off the ball, good stops (when Tony was behind me) were often winners, and my lobs were difficult for him to see, relieving the pressure (I should have played moreof them!).

I was 10-5 up in the fourth and let Tony get back to 10-10 before sneaking it 12-10, then started very slow in the 5th, letting Tony get a big lead, which I didn't manage to close.
