Headed out early to the LPT Tennis Center. Where I witnessed two very talented former college players "sweat out" whether or not they would get into the dubs draw. Neither Natalie, nor her partner Caroline Price (UNC grad) have a doubles ranking. The noon deadline came and went. The Supervisior asked Caroline to help with the draw.
Let me set the stage. There were 14 teams but only 13 spots. Caroline had to draw for the 13 teams to get into the tournament. First each team was assigned a number. She drew lucky number 13 for "our team". Then she had to draw 13 teams to get in. She drew 12 teams....NONE of which was our team 13. Which meant there were two teams left, one would get in and one would not. She then drew the #13 team to fill the 13th place in the tourney. WEW...we are in.
In case all that drama wasn't enough. She then had to draw 3 teams from the 13, all of which would be placed into the main draw. She drew 2 teams, neither we lucky team 13. Then she drew the final team and IT WAS lucky team 13. Lol.....so exciting and nerve racking. So, I'm very happy to say our team is in the main draw. Their first match is tomorrow, not before 2:30 p.m.
We headed to our host family's home. Where we were greeted by the cutest house sitting couple ever, Nancy and Richard. After a short visit with them our house mom Jodi arrived.
We chatted awhile then headed out for an amazing dinner. After which we headed to the house and our beds. After a few lengthy phone calls and now this blog entry it bed time!
