Round 3 of Tennis This Morning


Eight of the best teams in the Midwest are still alive after the first two rounds of pool play in the USTA sectionals.  This morning the two 4th place finishers are out.  We are on the edge.  Most of the matches have been decided by super tiebreakers.  The margin of victory is as slim as it gets.

Our wild card team must win against Oklahoma in order to advance to the quarterfinals.  The good news is we have a player joining us to strengthen our lineup.  Nick is a school teacher and he was needed to welcome the kids back to school.  We showed up at the tournament with the bare minimum of nine players to cover one singles and four doubles matches for each round.  

We are fortunate our team captain booked us a high end VRBO.  Rest and recovery is vital at this stage of the tournament.  We are ready to.  The next round is at 9:30am.  Have a great day.
