Late night update....the good news.....OUR TEAM WON! WOOT....WOOT! With the loss of the coin toss, our team was to receive the big serve of Vanderwieghe. As if that wasn't challenging enough, the very first serve of the match was no less then a foot long....but neither the line judge or chair ump called it. Not a good start, and unfortunately the line calls or lack of them was a big factor. Mostly against our team as in 15 vs. 2 times.
Credit to Natalie and Nicole for keeping their cool and playing through the bad line calling. The teams were on serve for most of the first set. Natalie, Nicole and CoCo served really well. However, our team broke CoCo to go up in the first set. But the opponents battled back and we found ourselves in a breaker for the first. Neck and neck in the breaker until Natalie was serving for the set, and that she did....she served the bombs and we got the set. We started the second set sluggish and went down quickly. Tried to battle back but it just didn't work, lost the second 4-6. Sending us into a breaker in lieu of the third set.
Nicole served a bomb to start us with a 1-0 lead. Shortly after we went up 4-3, then 9-4, 9-5 with Slater serving.....and with a double fault....we had the win! Natalie and Nicole played a really good match....can't recommend anything to change!
Tomorrow our team will play at eleven o'clock. There will be live scoring. The opponents are Will/Abaza. The four ladies have faced each other on the doubles many times. Should be a match of great doubles.
Well, the pizza should be arriving very soon....gotta go....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
P.S. Please say a little prayer for the Perry Family that lost their brother and son Mike today to cancer, may he rest in peace. And may the family find comfort in the Lord during this difficult time! xoxo
