The USA won the Queens Cup today: the 7th Cup overall won by the USA this year, tying last year’s record; that plus the two silver medals makes this the most successful super senior event ever for the USA.

We did it! Our talented 1 & 2 singles players once again came through, winning both matches so my partner and i did not get to play today. But we were not complaining!
I nearly had a Heart attack when Dorothy fell  front on on the nasty red clay early in the first set after Dori had won her match in straight sets. A time out was called while she cleaned up all the blood on her knees, then she pulled herself together and won the set. She was up 5-3, match point in the second and watched it slip away, losing it 7-5.
More heart palpitations on my part.
A half of a banana, several sips of water and she went out and won the third set  6-3. Whew !
The Queen’s Cup isn’t really a cup, but a beautiful and heavy silver tray. We get to keep it for a year, the USTA will engrave our names on it, and we will take it to Austria in 2013 to try to win it again!
This has been an incredible experience in a beautiful place.
Thanks to all who were rooting for us and to the USTA for providing the opportunity to play for our country.
