Day 1: USA def. Slovenia (3-0)

Bright eyed and bushy tailed, the team got out on the practice courts at the crack of dawn (7am) and braved the light rain to warm up! It was kinda cold! Apparently, every other team decided to wait until closer to 8am to warm up! We thought they weren't serving breakfast until 8am so we wanted to hit and still have time to eat before the 9am start. Luckily they have decided to start breakfast at 7am tomorrow, and start the matches at 10am! We're hoping it will be warmer!

Rachel was first up today at #2 singles and smoked her opponent 6-1, 6-0. Vesna followed that up with a quick 6-0, 6-0 win at #1. We were done with our first two singles while South Africa and Sweden were still playing their first match! We had a 1 hour break for lunch (Serrano Ham sandwiches for all, yummy!) and then Renata and I cleaned up 6-0, 6-0 in the doubles. It was nice to have a 3-0 win under our belt. Tomorrow we play South Africa who beat Sweden 3-0 today.

Vesna and I are happy our apartment is a stones throw from the courts. We took a break in the afternoon and then the team went out to practice again around 4pm. It was crazy WINDY! The guys had the day off today, so they cheered us on. They play Ireland tomorrow who lost to India today.

Everyone is happy that the wi-fi seems to be working again!

That's all for now. Adios!
