Florida State Closed Tennis Tournament

By Julia | June 16, 2007

I just played Florida State Closed and I came in third place! My first match I won 6-1, 1-1 ret. My second match I won 6-3, 7-5. In my third round I won 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 and I was down match point and came back and won it. In the quarters I played my very good friend Blair. It was hard to play my friend but I had to concentrate and I won 6-4, 6-4. I was very happy when I won because the last time we played I lost to her at Super Nationals. I lost my next match in the semis but then took 3rd place in a hard fought match where I saved two match points and won 7-6 in the third set! So it’s funny… a 12 year old won the tournament, an 11 year-old came in second and a 10 year old came in third!

After the match we celebrated with my coach Rich and went to SeaWorld!!! Rich freaked out on the Kraken roller coaster ride (He said his stomach went up to his throat). We also rode on the Atlantis water ride and we sat in the front row and got all soaked! Rich was chicken to feed the stingrays but i am much braver than him and fed the stingrays and the dolphins. (I will post some pictures of me feeding the stingrays and dolphins soon) We saw Shamu and Baby Shamu too!

My next big tournament is in July at the National Claycourts. I am switching rackets to another Babolat racket - maybe the Pure Drive. We are also going to train real hard. Too bad Rich has to go back to Colorado next week. But I know he will come back to coach me! I can’t wait to get home. The package came from Babolat and I can’t wait to open it!!

Here are the results for the tennis tournament Florida State Closed Tennis.
