Colloquial Language - Tennis

Being part of a tennis club I have quite a few friends who also play tennis. Some of my friends are hackers like me and others can play tennis exceptionally well. Take my friend Earl for example. He’s been playing for eight years. Whenever I play against him he handcuffs me, he puts away shots with ease, he can moon shoot the ball right into no-man’s land and occasionally he can even pull off a tweener. He is as fast as a cheetah on court, has strong fore-hands, his backhands have so much top-spin that the ball spins like a propeller in the air and when he serves the ball he does it so easily yet so accurately and lightning fast. Eventually after playing for around ten minutes he’s already got an insurance break on the match so I just end up tanking the game but sometimes if I’m do better than usual, I can get a couple points although not enough to win a game unfortunately. Hopefully after a few more lessons of tennis I can play the counterpuncher or the pusher and finally win a match, or if that’s too much to ask; a set.

 Seriously he’s like Roger Federer or something.
