Will Millar vs Dhanasekar Chellam

Details

It was windy at North Creek HS and a loud 6 year old distraction next to our court making it tougher to zone in.
Dhana started out with supreme confidence and solid clean pace plus great serving to get a quick 2-0 lead.
I used off pace shorter ball defense to slow down the tempo plus my usual short angles and solid backhand corner shots to pull ahead and edged out the first set barely. Dhana had great serves and forehands but my serving was not too good.  Second set we had some exciting points and a mix of pace and a few duece battles.
Thanks Dhana for playing on short notice.  My back and glute (6 week injury) went into spasm after the match in the car so I barely finished it.
I enjoy playing Dhana and hope we play again soon.
