'You can't teach an old dog new tricks' the saying goes but that is not strictly true. Look at how the senior population have embraced the internet. Of course I can't include my sisters who absolutely refuse to even use WhatsApp or for that matter get a mobile phone, let alone a computer. There are some things that I would willingly embrace but I recognised that, even in my youth, I would never learn how to have a decent serve. This morning, while playing doubles, I was being persuaded to stand at the net. I know, having years of experience, that I do not perform well at the net, in fact I am totally intimidated by a ball whizzing straight at me from 3 feet away, so instead of smashing it right back, I duck. Thankfully my usual doubles partner knows this and we are a winning team with me running backwards and forwards, side to side at the back of the court while she intimidates the opposition on the other side of the net.
This morning I was invited to play in a tournament for Legends. When did I get to be old enough to be a legend?
