Meg CATA Tour Stop and Bonus BBQ

Meg took part this weekend in the CATA tour stop at Onion Creek Country Club.

Meg had a tough first match Friday evening. All the hard courts were filled so she experienced clay court tennis for the first time in her career. Being not quite as proficient yet as Rafael Nadal, she dropped the eight-game pro set match, and landed in the consolation bracket.

Saturday morning, she faced a fellow Austin Tennis Academy player. In what seemed the longest match, Meg ground out an 8-6 victory in about an hour and a half. She played it on the same clay court gaining more experience.

She was back on court less than a hour later, picked up the pace and won 8-3. Again she played it on the same clay court gaining even more experience.

After a quick lunch she was back out on court (hard court unfortunately), but ran into a tough player who took the consolation finals 8-1. Meg battled but was not pleased with her play. After speaking with her coach by phone after the match, they agreed upon some things to work on.

It was quite a bit of tennis to play over the two days, and for an added bonus, Meg, Scott, and I went down to Lockhart Friday evening, for some excellent BBQ at Blacks BBQ.

Lockhart is home to several awesome BBQ establishments including Kreuz Market, Chisolm Trail Bar-B-Q, Smitty's Market, and Blacks.
