Well it seems we are creating a pattern of winning one out of 3 courts each week. However we did switch from a court 3 win to a court 2 win this week.
Allana and Suzanne had their hands full with the retrievers on court one. Their match had some incredible ups and downs as I heard the cheers from the stands and a few "COME ON's" from Allana. But these ladies used the sauna they call a tennis court to their advantage. They had Allana chasing lob after lob until she was blue in the face and the crowd was sweating just watching her. Not only did our girls lose the match, they lost a few pounds in the process.
Court 3 was pretty quiet on and off the court. I'm not sure what happened but I assume that Heather and Pat probably were experiencing some sort of heat stroke that left them wondering what happened as well.
Conception and I had our hands full with the always tricky Maggie on court 2. She started the match by telling me that she knew my parents. (Oooh, she's good!) I wasn't falling for the "almost related" tactic and I told her we would discuss our history after the match. How are you supposed to kick the butt of someone who claims to have gone to camp with your mother? So I pulled my partner away and told her no more chit chat until the end of the match. Conception and I battled every point until our baileys and chocolate outfits were literally melting off our bodies. My skirt was so short by the end of the match that it looked like I was wearing a fringed belt with hot pants! We kept our focus as best as we could in the 100 degree temperatures and we sweated our way to a 6-2, 7-5 two set win.
Our usual winning table was waiting for us in Chez Cora and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch with coconut and chocolate shots for all. We are just warming up to the future 2 and more court wins when we will be breaking out the music and wine! We are just pacing ourselves for the upcoming celebrations.
Congrats to all for battling the unseasonably warm temperatures and thank you again to our wonderful cheering section, who show up week after week. Your support and enthusiasm are always appreciated.
See you all next week!
