Well, ain’t this somethin’. They’re talkin’ ’bout these tennis matches down in Cancun. Never been there myself, but I hear it’s warm. Anyhow, folks are all worked up about these “results” they got down there. Guess some gals are hittin’ balls back and forth and keepin’ score.
I seen tennis once on the TV, back when the antenna worked good. Buncha girls screamin’ and hittin’ that fuzzy yellow ball. Never could figure out why they yell so much. Guess it takes a lot outta ya, runnin’ around like that. My joints ache just thinkin’ about it.
- Win or Lose, It’s a Game: Seems like some of them girls are winnin’ and some are losin’. Well, that’s how it goes, ain’t it? Can’t win ’em all. You just gotta pick yourself up and try again next time. Like plantin’ tomatoes, sometimes they grow, sometimes they don’t.
- Keepin’ Score: They’re all fussin’ over who’s got the most points. I reckon it matters to them, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a game. Like when we used to play bingo down at the church, some folks got lucky, some didn’t.
They’re callin’ it the “WTA Finals” or somethin’ fancy like that. Sounds important, I guess. Folks are lookin’ at “draws” and “schedules.” Sounds like a lottery ticket to me! Probably a bunch of rich folks bettin’ on who’s gonna win.
Then there’s talk of “live scores” and “set results.” They keep track of every little thing, don’t they? Must be a lot of writin’ goin’ on. Reminds me of when I had to count the eggs from the chickens every mornin’. Kept a tally on a piece of wood nailed to the coop.
They got somethin’ called “*,” too. Sounds like somethin’ you need a fancy machine for. Back in my day, you just watched the game or listened on the radio. This here internet stuff is beyond me.
Now, they’re sayin’ there’s “stats” and “order of play.” Stats? What kind of stats? How many times they hit the ball over the net? How many times they tripped? Order of play? Well, I reckon they just take turns hittin’ the ball, ain’t that right?
They also mentioned “standings.” Sounds like who’s winnin’ and who’s losin’. Kinda like the pie contest at the county fair. First, second, third place. Everybody wants to be number one, I guess.
All this fuss over a game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have somethin’ to cheer for, but sometimes I think folks get too caught up in these things. There’s more to life than watchin’ folks hit a ball around. Need to spend time with your family, tend to your garden, help your neighbors. That’s what really matters.
So, there ya have it. My take on them tennis results from Cancun. Maybe I don’t understand all the fancy words and rules, but I reckon it’s just a game. And in the end, it’s the people you’re with and the memories you make that count.
