I really wanted to play today, but I twisted my ankle a week or more ago and it seemed to recover and is now getting worse.

It hurt every day for a week after I twisted it mostly for the first few days and then only in the mornings but it seemed to totally go away until after I played again.

It's so frustrating, I really wanted to play since I have great enthusiasm for getting to know my combination style game and was invited to play today but couldn't as I was limping around all day.  I can't put my weight on my ankle.

Yesterday was a bad day for me.Yesterday i took part in a state(school)competition and lost in the second round. The first was easy but the second was prety hard and humiliating bec lost to a boy which is smaller than me by one age(think so) the match point 3-1.By the way,the competition wasn't that great bec the floor was in bad shape(not a suitable table tennis floor)the lights were dim and they don't have rails to block the ball from running away so u have to catch it by yourself after a good forehand smash.It was hard for me to play in that state of suroundings.

When I was writing a summary of the Slovenia open 2012 for tabletennisyoutube.com, I typed in some of the players names playing each other and found on google that there were sports betting agencies using their matches as a decider on how much money you win or lose.

I play about 10-15 hours a week.   I have a 'TT heaven' where I work.  I have a new sparring partner that in the past must have been much better than me long ago but now he is happy to just do drills and suggest improvements.
He is getting better rapidly but we are getting better together.  There are other players that don't want to drive across the river into Portland, OR to play.  I have a schedule for the weekdays but weekends are free and are flexible.
