1D) Laura & Wendy defeated Ellen Schneider & Marion Meyers 6-2 6-2
2D) Kelly & Sue Lin lost a heartbreaker to Tina Turk & Gina Messersmith (I'm sure familiar names to many of you) in the 3rd set tiebreaker after winning the first set, 6-3 5-7 0-7 (6-10)
3D) Jane & Trish defeated Susan Valerino and Lauren Botti 6-4 6-3, in a match where they so far outclassed their opponents that it actually caused difficulties!
1S) Gayle handily defeated Trish Pollak (yes, she is the same Trish who played on our team last year), 6-0 6-1
2S) Meghan lost to a very steady pusher, Maria Jaewha Kim, 6-4 6-1.
This team is made up of a mixture of players, some of whom can barely get the serve over the net, others who are very experienced. It made for some very odd matchups and some odd situations. With the number of new teams in the league this year, this is something we'll need to watch out for-- a much wider range of ability at 3.5. I will try to keep you clued into what to expect with each match.
Wednesday (6 pm @ Roland Park) we play last year's league champion, Zylberberg. If you played today & are scheduled for Wednesday, expect a totally different ball game. I.e.: they will be very tough. However, if we play well, we can beat them (we lost to them 2-3 in our last match against them last year). Due to subs, I had to change the lineup around-- here is who is playing:
1D) Jean & Wendy
2D) Katharine & Donna
3D) Laura & Kelly
1S) Gayle
2S) Mary
Please try to be there by 5:30 so that we can have a good warmup. Hope to see a lot of you tomorrow! --Jean
