I like the concept of the flexible tennis league. Players are grouped geographically and skillwise. Three seasons per year plus playoffs for the best 256 players. It was immensly satisfying to barely reach the playoffs (I play 3.0 this year which means I hit every other shot and have as many double faults as aces). On that occasion, in the third and final set I had a match point (4:5 games, 30:40 points) against me. It was just great to hit an ace just then and go on to win the decider 7:5 (2:6, 6:3, 7:5).

On the other hand, in the second round of the playoffs I learned that it is not advisable to look ahead to the 3rd round opponent too early. Completely unfocused, the low point of my young career was a straight 2-set loss (3:6, 2:6). Embarassing. I will be back.
