Day 2 of Competition/ TUESDAY

Today we play Turkey. Not a very strong team so we will play our #3 and #4 players in singles and Fran and I will play doubles. We won both singles and doubles easily. I did watch an incredible match in the men's 35's division. Andy Lake, used to be a North Carolinian from the Asheville area, played an incredible match. The points went on and the shot making from the two guys was amazing. Just like the pros, if not better!!! The match went to 3 sets and Andy finally prevailed with an unbelievable running fh cc winner that was unbelievable. We play a tough German team tomorrow for our last qualifying match. After our win, we will move on to the semis against Italy, a very very tough team!!

The venue is incredible. Every night there is a production on stage where a Russian Dance company comes in and does different dancing and musical shows. They are all incredibly talented and the shows are Las Vegas style. Beautiful costumes and incredible dancing moves. Last night was a great show where they performed dances from different countries. Beautifully done!!! We have had dinner at the Beach Restaurant almost every night. It's been great so far and very relaxing, although the tennis has been somewhat intense. Hope everyone in the US is doing well and the tennis is going well. Well I will update again tomorrow!!
