so i'm taking tennis for gym and my teacher had us in pairs to compete. since i didnt have anyone to team up with, some boy says i can be his partner. i knew right away that i wouldnt like being partners with him because he's so competitive. i honestly dont care about winning any of those games since our grade isnt based off of how good we are. he gets mad when i cant hit the ball (i have bad hand-eye coordination). and whenever its his turn to hit and the ball rolls away from him, he expects me to go get it for him and then gets pissed when i wont run to get it. he has the funkiest attitude ever and we almost got into it today because he was getting an attitude with me. i was going to throw my racket down and say "fine, since you think your so good at this, then play by yourself!" he dont even want me hitting the ball! i had more fun losing with my last partner because he HAD FUN! but he's so serious and it drives me nuts!
what should i do????

Tell your gym teacher to get you into another sport. You should have thrown the racket down and walked away. It is obvious the two of you cannot play as a team. Why put yourself through this? Why did you take tennis, if you know your hand-eye coordination is bad?

I think my initial reaction would been to crack him in the head with the edge of my racquet. I think Federer had a very composed, Swiss response. In light of what happened to Monica Seles the court invasion at Roland Garros should be upsetting to the tour and of course its players. Roger said in an interview that he could tell the guy meant him no harm but I have no idea how he was comfortable making that split second assertion. Of course if Federer struck this man, in this day and age, and in France, he probably would have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Change partners if you can, Dear, life is too short! Or if you're stuck with him, then make it a game inside your mind just how fun you can make it with a little imagination... go to your "happy places."
Whatever, just don't get stuck into a power struggle with him!

Don't partner up with him again, regardless.
Also, play some video games, that'll help your hand-eye coordination.

He is rude and immature. If you happen to be paired up with him again, tell him so.
