With all the matches being pushed from Tuesday to yesterday, the schedule was a little crazy. But kudos to Dessie and Billie for making it work. "Our" doubles match got on a little before five, right after one of the opponents returned from her free pottery class. Priorities ya know......hahahahah
The first set saw Natalie and Sanaz teetering up and down until they won it 6-4. During the second set, "our" team was down for most of it. We weren't striking the ball well. And the opponents were doing their jobs well. So onto a breaker we went. Well....we were suppose to go anyway....however we didn't show up for a while....a very long painful viewing mile.....until we were down 1-5. But then....<<cue music>> ....."we" showed up and won 7 points in a row to make it 7-5. Amazing indeed, "we" began to strike the ball well and the pressure contributed to the opponents making a few errors. Winning 10-8 in a breaker.....in Pluskota exciting fashion.
Today, will be another practice and fitness day. For Natalie and Sanaz will have the day off from match play. In an effort to get the draws caught up, so to speak. The will play two matches tomorrow, after winning the first of course. They will play the winner of today's match of #842 Trang P D Huynh (VIE) and Huachin Lee(TPE) -- #1949 Sherry Li(USA) and Eva Raszkewicz(USA).
As a very important side note......God Bless our new Pope....Francis the First! May he lead Christians to a future of change, hope and happiness!
Until the lil yellow bouncing ball hits the ground....I say sooo long....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
