fights gets hard harder hitting knew lost match tough tried
I knew it was going to be a tough match and it was. She is so hard to play against. I know I was up and then lost the first set, but I don't think I did anything wrong, it's just that she gets everything back and fights so hard. I had to really concentrate and I tried hitting a little harder and in the end that made the difference.
contest despite losing proved tougher
