We started most of our matches practicing doubles. Our No. 3 spot is coming together, but Marion is out. It is going to be challenging on court without her.

Our third spot did surprisingly well on both days. They enabled us to get the doubles point early on Friday.

Claire was actually playing very well. But her opponent was really making her run. She was bound to wear her down.

The kids did surprisingly well with the travel difficulties. They were very professional, they prepared very well and they kept that focus from practice and were able to strike the ball real well.
