Tennis Love


Two sets
  Apiece
To each player
And this is the
    Final set... 
What a contest! 
Both the players
Fighting to win
   The match
     Is equal
The scoreboard
          6-6
And we enter
The tiebreaker, 
      An ace
And the first point
            To X
Serve and volley
And the first point 
           To Y
   14 shots
And an unforced error
             By Y
There's the second point
       To X
Another Ace
And the third point
               To X
Double fault
And the second point
     To Y
First serve
And the third point
           To Y
Players
Take a break... 

      8 shots
And the fourth point
    To Y
Amazing! 
         A net point
Won by Y again! 
A drop shot
      By X
A lob
Followed by
   A slice
Now Y leads
          6-4
Match point for Y
   16 shots
And a lovely forehand
      By X
            6-5
  An ace
       6 all
Now, that's an amazing game! 
    An ace for Y
Another match point... 
What a strong backhand! 
        X gets the point
The match goes on... 
    5 shots and Y
Plays it into the net
     A costly error! 
Match point for X
A powerful serve
   And volley
                9-7
      Game! Set! Match! 
And X wins the Wimbledon
    For the first time!!!
