....from the sometime sunshine state

Good Morning from the sometime sunshine state!  Yesterday, Natalie play Will for the first time in singles.  They have been opponents on the dubs court in both college and pro tennis matches.  Nat started out strong going up 4-3 in the first.  Then changed what was working.....not a good idea....and ended up losing it 4-6.  In the second set, she was down until she played a great game to make it four all.  Unfortunately, again she didn't stick to what was working and lost that set 4-6.

Overall, Natalie played an awesome match against a tough opponent.  You could definitely see that she was implementing much of what she and Jason (her coach) have been working on.  You could also see the off season physical training was a success.  So even tho she lost the match, much to appreciate about it.  Nat is for sure off to a good start and the best is yet to come.....exciting indeed!

Today, will be a practice day.  With doubles starting tomorrow and Wednesday.  The draw will be posted after twelve today.  Natalie and Asia should be one of the top seeded teams.  I'm definitely looking forward to selling how they "click" on the court.  Until then....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
