Hi Dropshot51
I played doubles with this hotshot who is my opponents.
This is something uncall for.This guy is known to be hot headed.
When he gets angry i know i will beat him,while playing half
way thru the game i was attacking him with flat lob and finally
he return one weak lob to me i smash him real hard and ended
up on his face,immediately i said sorry to him,guess what was
the respond i get from him.He told me it's okay no problem
i will get you with a very agreesive tone and his face was so
black.During the game he still repeat the same thing,finally
half way thru the rally i stop the game and walk to the net
and told him,look here i already apologise to you that i m sorry
anyway if it's a half court i will smash,the reason he is not happy
it's because of pride i smash him and he is losing badly at the
same time.When i went there to tell him finally he was embarrased
and he shoke my hand to apologise but after that his game collapsed.
I guess sometime you just got to stand up like a man to tell the other
party to cool down,if you can't take the heat don't play.
Cheers

Last nite I was playing a game of doubles with a couple of intermediate players when a return shot from my partner barely made the other side. I had moved to the front of the net, anticipating my partner was smashing. I had conceded the point by turning my body and face away from the net. My opponent took the opportunity to smash the bird directly at me from 6 ft away, hitting me on the side of the neck. I told him that I took exception to his agressive play. This was not a tournament nor a league play nite, just a scrub game.
Do you think I was right on telling him my objection to his aggressiveness or should I have just kept my mouth shut and kept on playing.
