She is also one of our regular listeners who has kindly shared one of her bittersweet memories of a Tennis final. What Awaits You The Match Melissa recalls pairing up with Mike for a City Finale Doubles tennis match. She continued that even after losing the challenging first set, they made a comeback and tied 5-5. But unfortunately failed to register the score in the scorecard. And after premature and faulty celebration by their opponent, ended their final journey. The Aftermath She reveals that she was sure that the match was not over, but her opponent, alone with her partner, had left the court. Unfortunately, They had never entered another City Finale and Mike had also passed away. Now Melissa wants to win at least one city finale to honor her partner. The Takeaways This heartbreaking story has more than a few lessons to be offered. These are- Avoid Miscommunication: Maintain concise and clear communication with your partner and opponents to avoid crucial mistakes. Settling Disputes: If there is a dispute regarding score keeping in a match, it must be resolved before leaving the court- either with official intervention or with mutual understanding. Stay Focus and Keep Presence of Mind : While celebrating small moments can be important, one must always stay focused on the field, particularly when the match is going on. Involve an official if needed. Definitely keep your head cool. Connect with Us Tell us your stories using My Story of Tennis . We have a monthly give away for sharing stories.
