Just a brief post because I have an 8:40 am quarterfinal tomorrow plus 12:30 doubles.

I played Althena Cahas from Houston today, a crafty lefty. We had some good points and a couple long games but I won 61 61 and play Vicki Buholz, also of Texas (Dallas) tomorrow. Susan won handily too in singles and we won our doubles 60 60. We play Abbi Neuthaler and her partner tomorrow.

Tamara Nelson, playing her first national (she turns 55 tomorrow.. Happy Birthday!) won a 4 hour marathon with Gail Warden. It wS played on a show court, so she’s no longer a newbie!

We had the NSWTA annual meeting too.. Lively discussions ensued. Join the National Senior Women’s Tennis Association everyon! Go to NSWTA.org to join.
