Love isn't necessarily such a great thing in tennis 

There is is a cheesy line from the movie "Wimbledon" with Paul Bettany, who plays a washed out tennis player. At one point his love interest says to him "Love means nothing in tennis".  Cheesy but true. In tennis  unlike  life, a love  score is highly undesired.  

Another term we don't love as much in tennis is "being bageled". It is a 6-0 score if you win and 0-6 if you lose. No one wants to be bageled but in the in the grand scheme of things, these moments hold valuable lessons about humility and grit. 

Have you been there ? Share with us your "love and bagels" experiences and what you learned from them.

What is AD-IN ?
AD-IN is a new tennis community in NYC to connect players on and off the court. We believe that being around people that share our passions is crucial to living a rich and fulfilling life. We bring people together in small groups, which allows them to form genuine relationships while playing or discussing strategy over a meal or drinks.
