Recap from Last Night







So - I'm sure a lot of you are wondering what happened in last nights match up with Rhonda vs. Paola. Well, the outcome was not what anyone expected, that's for sure. The match started with both ladies playing really well, and everyone was excited because they knew it was going to be a great match. But, at about 2-2 in the first game, it looked like Rhonda lost her footing and went down. She went down hard and stayed down...People rushed on the court to help and it turns out there were two doctors (Shai Manzuri and his wife) that were right there to help..The original diagnosis was that she broke her rib, and they wanted her to go to the hopital to get everything checked out. Rhonda wanted to keep playing but Usher made the decision and called the match. Rhonda was put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital for xrays and to get completely checked out, I think they were worried about a collasped lung. We went to bed about 1am last night and Rhonda was not back yet, but she ended up coming in late last night and the final word that we were told this morning that she tore a muscle. I know Rhonda got up early this morning and had went to the club and was trying to appeal the match and be allowed to replay the match, becuase technically Rhonda wanted to get up and try and play but Usher had called the match. I just don't see that whole part going well and Mexico wanting to have Paola come back and replay the match, but you never know. Stranger things have happened.


Anyway...The rest of the team did awesome yesterday! Andy played great and was really hitting good drive serves and forehand splats against Puerto Rico...Chris played Andres Herrera and beat him in two straight and Cheryl played Venezuala and won in two straight as well.

Well, Jackie and I get to play today! I feel like we haven't played in forever. We play against Cuba tonight which is really special for me because Felix was born in Havana, Cuba so I'm hoping they wil be streaming that match tonight so he can watch.
I am off to the club. All the singles players are playing around 2-3pm today adn we need to be there to cheer everyone on.
