Triple Crown for Phil

Today Phil won both his singles and doubles finals to win the National Clay Courts in Atlanta. That is an awesome feat within itself, but what's even more amazing is that he has won double gold balls (singles and doubles) in all three of the Nationals he's played in this year! Indoor and grass are typically his best surface, so for him to win on clay right before we leave for the Worlds, which is on clay, is just fantastic. I couldn't be any more happier or prouder for him. He worked hard, he's well liked and respected by his peers, and he's a a wonderful person. Phil and his partner Tom Smith make a great doubles team. He'll stay in Atlanta with Tom until I arrive on Tuesday, then we'll be off to Turkey on Wednesday morning.
