Match point

Bob Gates

Originally published in the 1972 pamphlet titled "A Proving Ground"

Frank was having difﬁculty getting his ﬁrst service in. If it wasn't for the heavy topspin on his softer second serve, he wouldn't even have reached the semiﬁnals of the Under-18 tennis tournament.

Now it was match point and Frank had a comfortable lead.

"An ace now would wrap things up nicely," he thought to himself.
