On Stand By...

Natalie was on stand by today as an on site alternate.  Was able to practice twice.  As well as watch some good tennis today.  Her and Sanaz are alternates for doubles and more than likely will not make it into the draw.  Not a surprise that is for sure.  

Must say I was a lil star struck today, seeing some of the "big" names in tennis arrive for practice.  Was amazed at how small some of the ladies are in size.  Much different then how they look on television.  Maybe one day Natalie will be one of the "big" names in tennis....eh??  Well, in my bias opinion .....she already is....wink!

Although Natalie did not get in the draws for the Family Circle this year, we sure are learning much while here.  Most important lesson being that she belongs here at this level.   It is a different world, different people, rules and officials.  Very happy that we came here to learn.

Tomorrow, we will check dubs and then if not "in"...we will head for home.  To regroup prior to heading to Pelham, Alabama next weekend.  Time to tuck in for the night!  Happy Easter!
