After days of rain, matches were played today. Although according to Natalie, it's freezing there. Happy to say Natalie and Sally were able to play two doubles matches.....yes....they won the first so they got to play the second. Our team won the round of sixteen, 6-3, 6-2. The opponents were Carruthers/Covington.
Moving into the quarters against fellow Americans Porter/McCarty, our team went up 3-0 in the first. Before going to "sleep" for a few games and down in score 3-5. Guess Natalie and Sally made up their minds to win the set and did 7-5. Of course I'm guessing cuz I'm not there, which means I could be totally wrong....doubt it but you know ;) The second set was a quick 6-0 in our favor, sending our team to the semi final match tomorrow.
Pluskota/Peers will face the CZE team of Frankova/Kremperova, who are the three seeds with a tourney ranking of 719. Please be reminded that our team is the one seeded team. This semi final's match time has not be posted as of yet. And a side note, the finals of doubles will be played tomorrow too, hopefully our team will play in both matches. But first ....the semis!
Natalie has been busy participating in the ProAm on Monday. Practicing in the rain, under the roof at the University of Florida with the Gator Girls. Which she really enjoyed! Tonight she is having dinner with her partner Sally's housing family. Of course a home cooked meal is hard to come by right now, so I'm sure she is enjoying a yummy meal.
As for Nana, she had a slight fall yesterday. Due to pain, I took her to the orthopedist today for x-rays. She broke a vertebrae #4 and has evidence of #1 being broken in last year due to her osteoporosis. So a corset for her and hopefully in a few days the pain level will be way down. We are very thankful that she didn't break a hip, often the ender for many elderly folks. After all we want to plan a 90th birthday party for her in September, so she needs to be around then and for many more.
Have a great evening and weekend folks....hopefully our will not involve the medical profession! Love and Blessings....Sherry!
