Esporta Tennis Tournament

Joseph had another tournament this weekend.  It was at our home club, so he knew quite a few of the other players.  He won two of his four singles matches as well as two of three doubles matches and placed joint 3rd.  Most impressive of all was the way he dealt with his worst loss.  He was up against the top singles player in the tournament and lost to him quite badly and after the last point the boy inadvertently hit one last serve that caught Joseph’s leg.  We could see the look in Joseph’s eye as his anger flared as he started towards the boy, but within a split second he realised what he needed to do and jogged up to the boy and shook his hand.  He has come a long way with his sportsmanship and we were very proud.
