Today I’m playing at Wimbledon in a match for girls. While I am waiting to play I can hear the crowd cheering loudly. When I walked out to play my game I was feeling really nervous. But once I started to play I forgot all about my nerves. The girl I was playing hit the ball so high I had to run a long way back to hit it. The match seemed to go on forever but the girl was still winning. She was doing some really hard shots and I missed some of them. Once I started to get into the game I managed to play some really good shots and the time was nearly over and we were tying. Then I just won the match and the crowd was cheering again.
