A Close One

As I've said before, I start getting nervous when the two hour time mark passes and I haven't heard from Phil. I don't know if they may have started late, or they are in a tough battle, or if they lost and he is delaying calling me. All kinds of crazy thoughts go through my mind!!

Today's match was scheduled for 2:00. I knew they went on right at two. I kept busy most of the afternoon, and realized around 3:45 I hadn't heard from Phil. Then the worry started. He called a little before 4:00 to report they had won in a close one, 7-6, 7-5. The opponents were good, combined with a little tentativeness from he and Tom, which made for a tight match. It always seems that each tournament has a match like this. It's good to get it out of your system early so you can relax and play loosely going forward. The semi finals are tomorrow. Game On!!

Another rainy day in Naples.
