Once again the heat played a factor in a TowerTennis event! This summer has been relentless with both heat and rain. Fortunately, the rain mostly hits overnight leaving the courts dry... but horribly hot. Many players have come close to heat related illness in recent weeks to keep the tournament on track. Your efforts are appreciated, but please don't risk your health!
I wasn't able to attend this match, so details are not available. However, SH achieved her 1st ever TowerTennis victory! I personably consider this accomplishment similar to one's 1st CTO, or maybe one's 1st radar certification - an accomplishment of profound significance! With her straight-set victory over CA - SH advances to play the winner of the AS/KS match. Meanwhile, CA is now eliminated from this year's competition. Good luck next year CA! The taste of victory is worth pursuing!
