Last week, I became the envy of tennis fans around the world. I had the chance to take on four-time Grand Slam singles champion Jim Courier at (Wii) tennis.
See: I beat Jim Courier at tennis, sort of.
I went into the story thinking my lede would be something along these lines:
Like many great athletes that have come before me, I too know what it feels like to lose to the legendary Jim Courier on the tennis court.
Of course, that was before Courier let me win.
Which resulted in a much better lede:
I beat four-time Grand Slam singles champion Jim Courier in tennis.
OK. It was just one game.
And it was Wii tennis.
And he totally let me win. But let’s not get bogged down by technicalities.
The final result – aside from my 1-0 victory – was a fun piece off the event.
