I arrived at the Club this morning..."gee, didn't I just LEAVE this place?!"
Vying for spots in Sundays final...everyone was excited and ready to put their best games on to secure the first set of finalists. First semi up...Jackie Holt vs Kim "little gun" De'Eramo. The #1 seed proved too strong today for Kim who had a great tournament (nice to you back!) and takes the match in three sets. The second semi was between Barb "Iron Woman" Robbins and #2 seed Deb "where is my wine" Schreiber. Barb is relentless with her ability to drag a clock out on all her matches. Deb moved Barb all around from side to side, net to baseline...and finally wore Barb down in two sets for over 2.5 hours. Jackie and Deb hold seed and will meet tomorrow morning at 7:30am, as they try to beat the heat. Come support these gals...and have a bloody mary while you are at it. Second upset in the Mens B singles today with #1 seed Julien DiPersio falling to unseed newcomer, Dave Solusky in straight sets. Dave played a smart game...Julien just needs patience. Well played Dave! First finalists to advance to the Mixed B's were #1 seeds Debbie Woodson and her partner...me! This was a tough match, against Kuipers dem. The every steady and agressive Kelly and the quick and solid groundies of Alec. Kuipers dem played GREAT, and once again kudos to Alec. This young man displays a great attitude on the court to back up his great game. It was a real pleasure to play them. Debbie/Michael raced to a 5-1 lead but Kuipers fought back before falling 6-4. They proceeded to race ahead 4-1 in the second but then Debbie/Michael rally back to 4-4...finally taking the match 7-5 in the second to secure their spot in the final.
More matches today at 4pm! Come check out the four top seeds in the Mixed A's today...this will be a great afternoon!
