I played tennis indoors at Wooddale last night because of the threat of rain. We are getting the mixed doubles team ready for the sectionals in September, so it was an oppportunity for practice with the team and get some court action. My 8.0 team qualified for the tournament via the back door. We didn't win the league (it was the winter league), but the team that won the winter league also won in the summer, so we were moved up. We'll be playing the second weekend in September at Reed Sweatt (aka Nicollet Tennis Center). Last night we split sets and then won the ten point third set tie-breaker.
The US Open started this week in New York. The Williams sisters are both playing and both won in the first round. They are in the same bracket so won't be playing eah other for the title this year as they have in the past. I'm predicting another Williams tournament win, but I'm not saying which one until after they play each other. The men's title may go to the new kid on the block, the Serb youngster, Novak Djokavic, but Nadal and Federer are more likely this year. Djokavic holds recent victories over both Nadal and Federer. Not a small feat.

I've seen some of the tennis open as I've surfed on by. Somebody in a pink skirt and black chiffon top was playing. Odd dress for a tennis court, I thought. It looks like your rain is moving this way -- you must be due for a stretch of dry weather. SS
