The USTA season began for the
Jammers on May 6th. It was a
long weekend for them since most of them competed in the USTA-NTRP Central
Regional Championships, I wasn’t sure if they still have enough in them to
compete in their first match for the season.
It doesn’t matter how tired they were, the Jammers still come out and
compete hard to win their first match 5-0 against the Netchix.
Leigh Lewis first year with the
Jammer playing at singles dominated her opponent, Carol Goldstein in straight
two sets 6-1, 6-0. After the match, I
asked Leigh why she gave away that one game.
She didn’t know how to answer that. J
Kim Wood also her first year with the Jammer, was victorious at her singles match. She defeated Lesley Skinner 6-3, 7-6 (7-1).
Our doubles team of Teresa
Emerson and Nancy Winters had a tough evening, but they managed to pull out a
win against Susy Barr and Peggy Lindsey with the scores of 6-3, 7-5.
Our lefty, Karen Griffin and
new Jammer, Julie Skinner, come together and got a win for the team. They defeated Karen Smith and Laura Wilhite
6-4, 6-1.
The doubles team of Kelly
Kramer and Beth Wilson once again played great together; they were victorious
over their opponents Polly Egbert and Ann Vogel in two sets 6-3, 6-3.
At the beginning of the season
I have told the girls that whoever loses the least amount of game each match, I
will buy them a beer for the evening.
However, whoever loses in a tie-break will have to buy me a mojito. So this week winners are, Leigh Lewis, and
the doubles team of Karen Griffin and Julie Skinner. What a way to start out the season, one match
down and 5 more to go. J
