Doing the Tennis Thing, Midland Style

We're in a rain delay for Claire's first doubles math here in dry Midland, Texas--or at least formerly dry.

I'm thumbing this post in from my phone so I'll keep it brief.

Claire drew a seeded player in this National open. The player was from Washington DC. Claire slugged it out going toe-to-toe, but dropped it 6-3, 6-1.

In the consi draw she went up against a local area player and took the first set in a tiebreaker 7-6 (9-7).

After breaking serve, Claire jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second set. A brief sprinkle stopped play for 15 minutes.

After resuming play, Claire upped her play wiinning the set at love.

She's back on tomorrow morning against a highly ranked Texas player.

...and the rain continues.
