San Antonio ZAT tournament report
Unfortunately, I couldn't be in two places at the same time. As you've read earlier, Claire was playing in an Austin/Georgetown Champ tournament, while I was with Kate and Meg in San Antonio. Let me say that Kate's first round match was pro style. Let me set the stage by saying that Kate had lost to this same player in the first round of the last ZAT tournament. This time was a different story. Kate came out swinging from the warm-up. She was in command of the match. The opponent ran Kate from side to side to no avail. Kate beat the #1 seed 6-1 6-3 - ouch! Kate was very consistent, but hit some impressive winners as well. Her serve had some major pop factor. Her coach simply said Kate played "brilliant" [add a British/Scottish accent] and "perfect." The opponent didn't know what hit her.
Meg had a good match against a scrappy player. After Meg's 112 ball inside-out forehand rally against Coach Newman last week, I was not surprised that Meg could be consistent. She did a great job, but lost 8-3. However, actually I thought she was ahead the whole time. After all, I'm her mom.
Too bad the tournament was rained out. I'm confident Kate would have won the main draw and Meg would have been consi champion. After all, I'm their mom.
