Thanks all. We are having a great experience and are in the mix with the top players and coaches in the players lounge. We are not allowed to take pics in there for obvious reasons. A big perk is access to an unlimited food and drink budget in the players lounge. The quality is exceptional. It is a money can't buy experience. Anna has a doubles followed by a singles tomorrow afternoon. The doubles are always a good experience. Anna is partnered with her Global Games mixed doubles partner Dom.
Hi, Anna's back started with the spasms in her singles and had to retire. The whole three days she struggled with her back and getting rotation. The doubles yesterday was lost very closely 6-3 6-4, mostly due to lack of doubles practice, rotation/movement issues, a few too many unforced errors and about 8 sudden death deuces.
Today Anna had a heat patch, painkillers, adrenaline and just played full on despite the discomfort. Anna and her partner put a good show on and beat the world number 2 men's pairing 6-4 6-2 to get the runners up trophy. Anna even served an ace out wide on match point, 40-15. Sandy Procter said she did not realise Anna would play so well against the top men.
