USA W65: USA lost a heartbreaker to an Australian team led by the Ros Balodis. Susan Wright played Michelle Hill and lost 76 (8) 26 76, and nearly put Hill in the hospital. The match began at 10:15am and finished at 1:45 pm on a very hot and steamy day…it was around 93 degrees and humid today. Susan held off a match point at 4-5 in the third and had two match points herself at 6-5. Ros Nideffer was up next against Balodis, a match everyone was eagerly anticipating…bets were made and a crowd was gathered. Balodis began strongly, and led 64 31 40-15…then Nideffer made her move and won the second set 64 and the third 6-0…so it was down to the doubles with Nideffer/Wright vs Balodis/Leanne Swaysland. The Aussies won in two tight sets to take the gold.

USA M65: The USA Men’s 65 team also played Australia and won the #2 singles point behind the strong play of Mark Vines; Bill Moss played a good match against the legendary Glenn Busby losing 64 75, but the Aussies won the doubles point to take the gold.
