Lil dreary afternoon here in Georgia, not the case in sunny and hot Florida. Natalie played the first round of the qualifying draw today. Verses Daniel, who happens to train with Nat's coach as well. Poor Jason is down at the tourney and had to play Switzerland. Anyway, the match started close and on serve, but Nat made a break for it at 3 all and never looked back taking the first set 6-3. The second set was relatively quick with Nat the victor at 6-1. Watching via the live scoring feed, the opponent was not having a good day, having double faulted 8 times, compared to Nat's 2.
Tomorrow Natalie will play fellow American Litvak. The two have never faced each other on the singles court. The opponent is a very defensive player that uses the lob often and much to her advantage. Nat's patiences and willingness to dictate should win her the match. Time will tell!
Today, I packed for France. Trying to pack "lightly"so as to leave room for the way home, is not an easy feat when you will be there for a month. In one....yes, I said.....ONE.....suitcase! The thought of the possibility of only being home for less then 24 hours prior to leaving for the airport.....is making me nuts!! So, I'm trying to have as much organized as I can prior to leaving to go get Natalie in Florida.
Well, back to the grind! Love and Blessings.....and.....GOOOOOO BLACKHAWKS........Sherry!
