My Mom Beat Me >.>

Okay, so yesterday my mom and I went to the park near our neighborhood and decided to play a quick match of tennis. We warmed up for a few minutes and then my mom spun her racket and it ended up on d, which is what I had guessed. I chose to serve first. By this time it was blazing hot and the wind had picked up speed. My hair is all in my face and I know this is going to be a very difficult game to play. Now, most professional tennis players know how to work with the wind to their advantage, either slowing her quickening their shots with softer or more enthusiastic shots. Now let’s also not forget that I am NOT a pro, therefore I have absolutely NO idea how to do this. I go for my first serve of the game and unfortunately the wind is blowing against me so it goes into the net. On my second the wind decides to change directions so that when I think I know what to do and hit the ball harder, it’s long. By this time I’m steaming with frustration and of course the wind stays blowing from behind me so most of my shots end up being long. I growled and huffed in aggravation, and that’s pretty much how the whole time went. Until I just couldn’t keep up with it and gave up. The ending score was 5 to nothing and I was moping the rest of the day. My mom wants a rematch today and fortunately there’s no sign of harsh wind yet. Key word being yet.
