A disappointing day

Tennis is always part of my disappointing pride. Even though, I only play this sport once per week, but my skill always stand out among my friends. However, today this prude becomes one of my shame. My brother and I are always competitors on tennis. We play many matches and I won most of them. I always feel I can still beat him even if I play only once per week. However, this notion is being crashed in today's match with my brother. I lose to him so badly with a score of 6-2( for the record I beat him so many time with a score of 6-1). I try to console myself by saying that it is okay since I have not touch tennis for about 3 months while he is training everyday in the school tennis team. Even though this is real, but I still can't stand the fact of losing to him. After few hours, this feeling is finally alleviated. This failure not only give me the incentive to improve my skill, but also make me realize my inadequacy.
