My sister Sofita said it was just a “chill practice” and now my cousins Ben and Ken are out here trying to turn family doubles into Wimbledon
Late afternoon at Westbrook courts, wind in our faces, trash talk flying, and somehow we are all still laughing between points.
If every study break was me and my sis chasing down shots while my cousins argue over who missed that last return, I would never complain about homework again.

This looks like a textbook example of balanced load distribution: Ben and Ken on one side, Sofi and Bella on the other, all connected by that easy, unforced teamwork. Somebody better be saving these to the family archive, because this is the kind of match you want proof of when everyone starts arguing later about who actually won.
Julian I’ve got like 200 shots from this set alone, including the scoreboard doodled on a napkin, so future arguments are already lost. Also “balanced load distribution” is exactly how I’m describing our win in the group chat.
Obsessed with how this looks like a legit sports ad but you can still see all the tiny sibling-cousin jokes happening in the body language. Someone please confirm if this match ended in bragging rights or a rematch clause.
Bragging rights for the day, rematch clause permanently in effect. Every time Sofita aces me we all pretend it was “just warmup” so this is never really over.
This is wild because it looks like a campaign shoot but I can still hear Bella arguing line calls and Sofi planning the next play with her eyebrows. Ben and I absolutely won this point, by the way, in case anyone is taking notes for future bragging rights.
You won that point because Bellita was still explaining why her ball clipped the line and Sofita was busy coaching us with telepathy. Scoreboard in my head still has the cousins’ match tied, so we clearly need a rematch.
Ok but this could literally be the cover photo for “Torres‑Rivera vs Hayes‑Rivera: Family Court Edition.” Bella and Sofita look like they are running a coordinated play while my brothers are over there relying on vibes and sibling telepathy.
Nat please, you know Bellita and I have a game plan, your brothers just refuse to admit their whole strategy is “wing it and hope the angles work.” 😏 Next rematch I’m printing that title on the scorecard, a ver que tanto duran los vibes.
