WEDNESDAY- MEXICO CITY

Same routine as yesterday. Got up early, 6 am and got everything ready to play. Had a great breakfast and off to the courts at 7:30. We must leave early because the traffic in Mexico City is awful. There are 24 million people in Mexico City, and it is crowded. We play at 10 am . We play Ireland today. Fran is playing 2 today, Gretchen 1 and Renata and I are playing the doubles. Fran destroyed her opponent only losing 1 game. She played very well. Gretchen on the other hand had a tough first set. Remember she was playing the 6 footer with the 110 mph serve!! Gretchen struggled at first, just trying to connect with the serve, but managed to win in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0. Renata and I played the doubles, the 6 footer and her partner!! We won the toss and chose to serve first. I served first and then prepared myself to return Lesley's serve. I connected really well the entire set. We played well and won 6-1. We continued the match (new balls after every set) and proceeded to lose the second set 6-1. Lesley served the hugest serves I have played agains in many years!! They won the second set 6-2 and we took the last set 6-0. We decided to keep the ball away from the amazon woman!!! It worked. We have off tomorrow, Thursday. Planning to do a little sight seeing (the pyramids)!! We also have the big Dinner Gala tomorrow. Off to bed I go. tired.
