Final Day of Play

 

Day 6: USA def Spain (2-1) for the Bronze Medal!

I was so tired yesterday I didn't have time to blog after we won, so this is a little late. But pictures are up on Picasa.

I woke up at 5am on Saturday, eager to get online. I went outside at 6am to check the weather and noticed immediately that it was WINDY! At 6am? Well, it just kept picking up and while we thought Friday was windy, Saturday was even MORE windy! At least this time it seemed more consistent in one direction and less swirly than Friday. At least it was not raining!!! Warmup was fun, we had to make sure that everyone practiced from both sides to get a feel for the conditions. We played our matches on court 15 and the guys on court 18, so close by again.

We were very much looking forward to playing Spain, as they are the host country and this is the land of Rafa Nadal!

It is breakfast time so I am going to continue this later.
