Vania King made her 1st appearance on Sunday night against Kansas City Explorers and played solid to give us a win in Mixed and Women's doubles. Nobody knew that she will have such a big in pact in our team like she did tonight.
We where schedule to play Newport Beach. They had to fly from Sacramento where they played last night. When they got to Chicago they realised that they where book to fly to Springfield ,Illinois and not Springfield Missouri. There are 14 Springfield's in The United States. They had to make different plans and only arrived at 7pm in Springfield. The match was supposed to start at 7:05 but they where given extra time to warm up and the match started 45 min late. We started of well and the men was leading 3-1 at the 1st change, but things changed quickly and they lost 5-4. Next Raven played Ramon Delgado that was ranked as high as 53 in the world in his playing days. Ramon is retired but plays WTT every year and this guy is still playing great tennis. Raven was out played and lost 5-2. Mixed was next and Newport continued to produce great tennis. We lost 5-2. I still had hope because the girls was up next and they have been very strong in doubles. Surprise!!!! Newport was unstop able and won 5-3. Well with 1 set left and we trialling by 8 games I knew that it was possible for us to come back, but Vania will have to play unbelievable. In 1997 I played for the Kansas City Explorers in Men's Doubles with Wesley Whitehouse. We where trailing by 9 games against Richie Reneberg and Brian Macphie and made the best come back in the history of Team Tennis. Winning 9 games in a row and also winning the super-tiebreaker.
Well Vania just did that. Winning 8 games and also the super tiebreaker.
It was just amazing, what a night. We stay unbeaten and play Newport again on Wednesday, but in Newport. Stay positive, Later
