Thanks for the scores Grant..

A pity Anna, didn't win the whole 3 matches, but atleast she has got some good practice in, against a quality opponent..

Sounds like they both had a great time in Sth Africa<br />oh, and congrats to amanda, sounds like she played pretty well, infact both girls played well..

once again thanks Grant..

[marshmellow]

thanks grant!

great win for amanda...

i'll post this in anotehr site....thanks again!

 

[Grant]

no problem ajayares and marshmellow <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

despite today, anna really has been played good.......she did play well today, the points were really tough, but she missed some really, really easy balls at very crucial times <img src="redface.gif" border="0"> ....and her second serve really needs work!! but, she looks in great shape and should do well next year <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

amanda is also playing great tennis....today she changed her tactics and was really aggresive right from the start to try and not let anna dictate the points......and her speed around the court often got her out of a lot of trouble <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

well done to both ladies.....been so cool watching them play here <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
