Sending prayers and positive warm thoughts to the folks back home. The weather has been brutal to say the least. Unfortunately, our kids never have a chance to drive on snow and ice for practice, therefore as adults they don't know how. That with the lack of experience of our government leaders have with bad weather conditions leads to all the issues we have on the roads at this time. I guess it's Baptism by Fire for everyone right now! Hope all are safe....esp....my son Nic, the firefighter that is currently driving on roads that were shut down to go into the station. Please pray for him and all involved in the storm area.
Yesterday, Natalie continued to enjoy participating in the Community Outreach Program. Having had a couple of speaking engagements as well as another meet a greet. She also enjoyed teaching a beginner clinic. After all of which she practiced and had the trainer work on her. She is feeling good and looking forward to today's match.
Natalie and Nicole Melichar will face fellow American CoCo Vanderweighe and Nicola Slater (GBR). Our team is tourney ranked 404 and the opponents 302. Nat has not faced Coco on the dubs court prior to today, but beat her in juniors on the singles court....like....10 years ago...hahahah. However, Nat has faced Slater on the dubs court and holds a 3-0 record for the match up. This match of dubs will come done to the service games for Nat, Melichar and Vanderweighe all have huge serves if for no other reason that all are above 5'10" in height. Slater had a solid service game and talented hands at the net. In my completely bias opinion....I pick OUR TEAM for this one....let's hope I continue to be correct in my predictions. Wait....what....I have been correct thus far?? Heck I don't know...have I even made any predictions?
Anyway.....this double match should be exciting to watch. Don't forget there are live scores, if you are interested here is the link:
