We found out yesterday evening that Natalie did not make it into the qualifying draw in Osprey, Florida. Like the past three tourneys here in Florida, the field is unbelievably strong. The "Q" draw's player rankings begin at 135 in the world to the last accepted being 236. That is a crazy strong draw for a 50K. And again, no one can seem to explain why such there is a high concentration of highly ranked players attending these four Florida tourney.
Tomorrow, we will drive to Osprey to register for doubles. Natalie is hoping to play with Chi Chi Scholl. However, with there being so many strong players here, there may be some last minute partner jockeying to get into the draw. We will know by 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon if she gets into dubs.
