I got through today's match, but it wasn't the prettiest tennis. I get through to have another crack and try to improve tomorrow. Hopefully, I can pick it up. I'll need to.
crack hopefully match pleasing
That's probably the most pleasing thing out of today's match, ... I get another crack at someone (today). I think that every match I play, I'm hopefully going to get better and better.
