We ended up having to play tonight's match at our ol' stomping grounds, Poly/Western, because when Emily showed up at Bryn Mawr insanely early at 5:20 she discovered the courts had no nets! She immediately called me and we got 5 courts at Poly to play our match, and everyone showed up by 6 pm so we were not really delayed at all. Given how things turned out, that's a good thing, because the #3 doubles team (Sara and Pam) played a marathon of a match that went until it was almost too dark to play. I propose a toast to people who show up insanely early for matches! Hear, hear!
So we had some easy wins tonight, a hard-fought victory, and one tough loss. Several people remain undefeated this season, and a couple people notched their first wins (noted below). Here are the scores:
1s: Gayle perfected her undefeated 5-0 season tonight vs. Monika Bradik, 6-3 6-1. She is now off for her summer travels, so will not be playing for us for the rest of the season. We can no longer count on Ms. Reliable ... :-( But happy, safe travels, Gayle, and speaking purely selfishly, we hope you will not get bumped up next year!
2s: Sue Lin also remains undefeated (4-0), beating Sue Lahatte 6-0 6-3. Great streak, Sue Lin!
1d: Jean (getting her first W) and Emily blanked Connie Rogers and Bonnie Thomas 6-0 6-0. We speculate that Dysart/Baker played their #3 doubles team at #1, but I (Jean) will take the win any way I can get it! :-)
2d: Katharine & Joy had the loss-- a really gut-wrenching one-- vs. Sue Basch and Sydney Hopkins, 6-0 4-6 0-1 (4). Sue and Sydney turned up the heat in the second set and Katharine and Joy couldn't keep them off.
3d: Sara (undefeated at 3-0) and Pam (getting her first W) beat Janice Lemoine and Paulette Barnett in a match that went well over 2 hours, 7-5 7-6 (3). Way to hang in there and get the win against a team that beat us last time we played them.
Saturday we play Zylberberg-- a team we should have beaten the last time we played them. So let's beat them THIS time. (eye of the tiger ... ha ha)
