Re(3): Spec 7 Scoring

Okay so here goes. One matinee I decided to sit in the front row. Michael is playing singles and playing quite well. He is winning points and looks like he may run out. Forgot who the opponent was - anyhow Mike is in control. During this one point Mike catches the pelota between the serve lines and sends it very deep - looks like a sure winner. His opponent goes back very close to the back wall to attempt a backhand rebote - the player crouches and is just able to dig it out.The pelota ricochets off the side wall and lazily begins to float high in the air, coming close to the top netting but just avoiding it. Seemingly in slow motion, the pelota just continues to drift as we all wait for the thing to eventually drop. And it does - about an inch and a half above the bar and maybe less than that inbounds on the court. Mike tries to put it in gear but can"t reach it and loses the point on that incredible shot. And he is beside himself. I am right there in the front row - look on his face is priceless. He comes over to the fence right in front of me and puts his left forearm against the fence crossways with his face buried in it. Right arm straight up - and had something to say and very clearly quote "CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT S**T" I never forgot it and I would bet he remembers that, too. What a way to lose a point.
