we lost our semis today.

in this way, sports is cruel. there can only be one winner. you can't always be on the winning side.

it's so, so abrupt. so painful. i wanted the championship. i wanted the championship. i really, really wanted it.

we have to pick ourselves up and recover.

it's not over. not yet.

we still have one last game.

they say we shouldn't cry. we did our best. i played well. we simply aren't their standard.

but we worked so hard, we had hoped for so much.

i just want to sit on the courts and. and just sit there.
