Greetings from the court! My name is Monthida, and my passion is tennis! This is a blog for tennis enthusiasts or beginners alike! I've been playing tennis for many years now, but I'm still learning more about the game each time I play or watch a match. I have to admit that I don’t practice as often as I should. If you want to discuss my game, yeah, there are many things I could try and improve. An area I want to improve in is my net game. I’m a little hesitant up at the net, and my reflexes are not the fastest! So if you want to stick with me, we'll discover many things about tennis together!
I began playing when I was twelve- yes, that is pretty late in tennis years! But I loved it, I played on my middle school and high school team. I play in tournaments occasionally, and I also participate in various leagues seasonally.
I enjoy going out on the courts and have as much fun as I can! Often times, people seem to forget that tennis is not just a physical sport. The mental strategies are my favorite aspect of the game. As much as it is an intense game, I find tennis relaxing. When I play, it takes my mind off of everything else, and I concentrate on just that. I love analyzing every part of the game- especially what players wear!
I'm from a little town in southeastern Georgia. Everyone in my family absolutely loves tennis- even our dog and cats! We travel back and forth between Georgia and Florida. My parents prefer to spend the summer in Florida- when it’s hot and humid. I go to school in Georgia, so this is where we make our home for the other parts of the year. My hobbies include browsing bookstores and stocking my bookshelf but don’t mistake me for an avid reader. There are a few dusty books that I should read pretty soon! France is my dream travel destination. The closest I have gotten to France is indulging their fabulous pastries- macarons. I hope to visit there one day and also attend the French Open. I consider myself a friend to animals everywhere! I volunteer at an animal clinic, and I love seeing animals being cared for and getting the love they deserve.
I hope that the readers of this blog will get a taste of my love for tennis. Tennis has had a big impact on my life. I want to share my experiences and perceptions with you. I also would love to hear from readers as well! If there is anything you’d like to discuss or share, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be more than happy to talk about anything you have on your mind about the game.
