That thud you may have heard bout an hour ago, was Natalie falling down during a point. She was down a set (3-6) and down 1-3 in the second when she took a dive. Landing on both wrists. At the time, she thought she may have broken the left wrist. After a short visit with the trainer, she decided that she was playing better and would continue. In her words, "I relaxed and just chopped at the ball as well as ran around it to hit forehands". Yes, she has a VERY high tolerance for pain....to a FAULT! She continued the match and won it in the third 6-3. Serving for the match, Natalie served an ace to make it her add for the second time, but then she clinched it. I'm sure the thunder you heard was Nic and me yelling at the computer live scoring screen in celebration.
Natalie ceases to amaze us. To be able to continue a match with what you concieve at the moment a broken wrist.....WOW! Who does that??
She was seen by the doctor, who thinks it is only sprained. So, it's wrap and go! Go onto the doubles match which should just bout be underway. Nat and Sally will play Whoriskey (who she just beat in singles) and her partner Gararchi. Should be good dubs! Until the lil yellow ball stops bouncing and I get an update....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
