One of these years I'll be able to make it through the first week of a tennis season without getting injured. Someday.

...I just had the first match of this season last monday. Played well, beat a pretty tough opponent. Pretty sure I got a grade 1 abductor strain out of it, though.

Last year I'd hurt my ankle about two weeks before the start of the season and missed most of it. The year before I'd gotten iirc a minor calf muscle strain, again within the first week or two. (That took just a week or two to heal, as should this week's injury.)

This is so annoying. Getting old sucks.
