Today was the perfect day for me. I got to hang around a great club, watch a little tennis, hit a few balls... all with no stress. Since neither Phil or Tom played a tournament match today it was all about getting used to indoors and seeing all the guys, and some wives.
Playing indoors on hard courts is such an adjustment to what we have been used to in Naples. No weather elements to deal with plus true bounces on a faster surface. All the right ingredients for Phil to do well. The lighting is difficult in that it is a little darker inside with a yellowish tint. Hard to describe but definitely there. After a day or two of being inside you forget about the changes and just go with it.
Phil plays a decent player from North Carolina tomorrow. They played against each other in June at the Hard Courts where Phil won 7-6, 7-6. In the 8 weeks since their last battle Phil is playing better and more prepared for singles.
Doubles for the guys gets started on Wednesday. Me? I’m hitting some, reading some, talking some, and just hangin’!
