Manhattan Beach Open

Hey, everyone.  I played in the Manhattan Beach Open tennis tournament this past weekend.  I won my first round match, and then lost my second one.  If you look closely at the draw, you’ll notice that the guy I lost to, David Maxwell, went on to score an impressive win over the tournament’s #2 seed, Trevor Dobson, in his next match later that same day.

Different people have different theories on whether I should have hoped for David to win that next match.  I could have either 1) cheered for him, to make my own results look better, or 2) cheered against him, as a sort of retribution for beating me.  I’ll go with door #1, since David was a decent guy, and benefit from a brief boost in my own self-esteem.
