We hit the road this morning at 10:30. It was a 3:30 hour drive to St Louis. The St Louis team decided to drive back last night after the match and only arrived back in St Louis at 3:30 this morning. They where in a party bus and the battery went flat 10 min from the hotel. The guys in the team had to run to the hotel and get the cars to pick up the rest of the team.
It was nice for me to be back in St Louis. I played for the Aces for 2 seasons and they where very good to me. It was another sold out crowd that showed up to see Anna Kournikova. Even if see was not playing people was there just to see her. She had a clinic with the Boys and Girls club of St Louis, photo shoot with the sponsors, interviews and signing autographs.
The Aces decided on the line up and started with mixed doubles, Last night we lost 5-2 but we turned it around tonight and won 5-3. Vania was on fire and won 5-0. Raven was up next and lost 5-0. At the break we where only leading by 2 . Women's doubles was the 4th event and the girls won 5-0. We where leading by 7 going into the men's doubles and with Martin and Raven winning the doubles 5-3 last night i didn't have any worries. I must give credit to the aces they won the doubles 5-2 and forced us into overtime. Raven served 1 st in overtime and held serve and we won the match. We keep our unbeaten record and head to Kansas City tomorrow morning to play the Explorers tomorrow night.
I played for the Explorers for 4 seasons so can't wait to see all my friends again.
