Hello from the Sunshine State....
We had singles, doubles, dinner and movie with friends and yesterday was over without a blog update. Soooooo....here it is:
Being scheduled on the center court had us waiting. For the match prior to Natalie's ended up being four hours. At hour three, they moved Natalie to another court, much to the dismay of some of the fan base she has developed. Natalie played the 4th seed Tadeja Majeric and as she said afterwards...."I got my a** kicked". Tadeja is playing very good tennis that is for sure. But, Nat also needs to give herself credit. There were several games that she was ahead in and ending up losing. She played well considering it was her 5th singles match. The score was1-6, 2-6. Natalie has had great results in singles at this tourney, which should take her from 645 in ranking to around 590. A nice jump indeed....great way to start the season.
Natalie and Nicole made great adjustments on the doubles court. Therefore, mowing over their opponents. At one point the opponents aguring over who was going to recieve serve from Natalie on a deuce point (reminder....no add scoring)....neither wanting to recieve. Once I noticed that, I knew it was pretty much in the bag....if we continued to do our jobs. Our team won the match 6-1, 6-1.
Today, our team will face Florenicia Molinero (ARG)/Deriana Perez (VEN). Not sure of their ranking or seeding....and there aren't any draws here in the players lounge. Sorry, but the cructches hiner me from doing too much searching. I will have it for the post match update.
I will be watching the little yellow bouncing ball shortly....updates to follow....sooner or later. Until then....Love and Blessings...Sherry
