Choosing to only play doubles can be difficult because there is a lot of sitting around and waiting....waiting for the singles to play, then finally in the afternoon the doubles plays. I know for Phil, too much sitting makes his knees feel, as he says, "cranky".
Tom won his singles match this morning in 3 sets. Later this afternoon, Phil and Tom won their first round doubles easily 6-0, 6-1. Phil said although the match was not a hard one, he felt pretty good playing. Even better was an opportunity to get in a good workout on the grass after their match. Phil feels like the post match workout allowed him finally feel like he is on the ball timing wise, which is so important on grass courts. Their quarterfinal match is scheduled in the afternoon tomorrow after Tom plays singles.
No trouble holding down the fort here....two days of rain, with one more day of of it forecasted for tomorrow. Makes my job kind of easy when we have days like that!
