After a long nervous wait behind the scenes I tried to
ignore the applauding crowd, before taking my place at the back of the court.
Then once again the voice of the microphone echoed around the court as the
players were finally introduced emerging from behind the curtain.

I gained confidence as the lengthy warm up gave me time to
think through my job and positioning. The opening match was very competitive; I
had to keep focused on where all the balls were and where they needed to be. We
all had to stay aware of the score, while trying to avoid being hit by the
ferocious serving and moving players.
Following a fifteen minute break we were back on court ready
for the next matches to start. Where we all had to refocus once the music was
turned off. I found the second match a lot easier and could enjoy a great view
of the players as they traded hand signals behind their back on where to serve
the next ball.
Overall it was a really fun enjoyable day as well as getting
the best view to some exciting high quality tennis.
