Note: 70 doubles final is Friday..won by Lil PeltzPetow and Jan Cochran.
Singles went well today for most of the seeds. I played Susan Boyer, who is always a tough out, but played very well and won in well under two hours…if you know Susan that’s a victory in itself! I play Diane Barker tomorrow while Fran Chandler faces her doubles partner, Erin Boynton.
Susan had a slow start and fantastic finish in the 50 semis against Daniela Esswein, winning 11 of the last 12 games.
In doubles, we beat Pat Purcell and Cheryl Hicks in a match that was much closer than the score would indicate. We played very well…and face Boynton/Chandler tomorrow. They overcame a slow start against Michelle Williams/Susan Love, but edged out Williams/Love in a match tiebreak to reach the final.
After our match we ran into a couple of Brazilian women we’ve met playing international tournaments, Lilia and Tania…Lilia is spending the winter here and Tania is here for the Brazilian summer…both are playing on women’s leagues, and came out to watch some tennis and visit.
Lil Peltz Petow continued to roll in 70 singles, beating #2 seeded Brenda Carter today and faces Judy Dixon in the final..
