Tennis Tonight

It was indoor tennis tonight, rather than a nice relaxing bike ride. I played mixed doubles in the USTA league at the Reed Sweatt Tennis Center, pictured below. I know it as the Nicollet Tennis Center in Minneapolis. We played a father and daughter team, who were pretty good. It was exciting, but my play was mediocre and we lost 6-7, 6-4, 0-1. We don't play the third set, but rather engage in a 10 point tie breaker (first team to 10 and ahead by 2). We had set points in the first set and 3 match points in the tie breaker and still came up short. So it goes.


Roger Federer had a bad day, too, losing to Rafael Nadal 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. It was Nadal's third straight victory at Roland Garros.

Hei -- 'Sweatt' tennis center? How hilarious. DD is Darling Daughter, or Dandy Dafter, something such. Just needed a double letter and D seemed the right one. FF for Funky Friedgen, maybe? I'm also using DD for the Dynamic Duo, formerly known as the Small Loud Ones. There's still loud, but we measured Soccer Girl at 5'4" yesterday! Totally Jammin is growing like a weed as well. ~ SS (PP for perky progeny?)

'They're' -- not "there's" of course? Off my meds again, apparently. ~SS
