It is Friday and here in Alabama, the weather has improved!! Alot of rain yesterday, but today overcast and partially sunny, but no rain!!! There were going to be alot of tough matches today for our men's teams. Our 35's, 45's, and 55's have their hands full. We play SC in the 35's today and Andy Lake and Will Bull are very very strong players!!! We lost both singles but pulled out a great doubles match. In the 45's we won both singles, very close matches, and lost the doubles. In the 55's group, we lost all 3 matches, but the two singles matches were very tight and our #1, Bob Lake lost in a heartbreaking third set, 7-5. The men's 65's lost in the doubles match, and our fabulous 75's dominated and won all 3 matches.
The Women's teams faired well today. Our 35's lost all 3 matches and again our #2 singles lost in 3 tough sets. I represented the 45's and our division won 2-1. I won at #1 singles, 6-1, 6-0, our #2 singles lost 6-3, 7-5 and Nannette and I won the doubles 6-0, 6-4. We played very well today. The 55's won easily, I am not sure the results of the 65's or 75's, but I think we won.
Tomorrow should be another day of great tennis. I don't know all of the match ups for tomorrow but I will update later with the results. The weather is supposed to be great 85 or so and on Sunday 88!!
How about those French Open matches today!!! Unbelievable!! The only disappointment was that NBC only showed 3 hrs of the first match only and we did not get to see any of the Federer match. What were they thinking????? Someone needs to complain to NBC!!!
Well I am interested to know how the Swedish player Soderling will fair against the FED man!!! I know the Swedes (and you all know who I am talking about, Goran, Henrik!!!) are very very happy right now and we have to give him some credit!!! He did not lose the next round as predicted, and he took down a Dirtballer today. Any predictions for Sunday??? It does make it an interesting French OPEN!!! My money is on the FED Man!!!
