Here we are waiting for the sun and the schedule for tomorrow to come out. Although we do know that Natalie and her partner Allie Will will not play tomorrow. Their first dubs match will be on Wednesday. This tourney has one of the toughest dubs draws we have seen for a 25K. The "cut off" is 497. ("cut off" is the ranking of the last team into the draw) Our team is tourney ranked 470, so we were one of the last to get into the main.
Our team will play the tourney ranked 383rd team of Adriana Perez (VEN) and Florencia Molinero (ARG). Which some of you may remember, Nat and Niki lost to them in Port St. Lucie. The opponents are nice ladies as well as players, so this will be a great first match.
Today, Natalie practiced twice and is currently napping. She will get up shortly to go "hit" with our host Drew. Following that will be the ProAm, which is looking forward to being a part. When we were here in January, she had a blast at this event.
Tomorrow, will be practice and then some dubs practice. They have arranged to play a practice match since her and Allie have never played together. That will be fun, for Brett and his "old" college partner will take em on....and ....yes....the trash talk has already begun.
So off of here, need to ready thy self for the lil yellow ball will commence to bounce shortly......Love and Blessings.....Sherry.
