The drawings are right here.
At the moment was one of the best, climate sensible these two weeks right here. The excessive was about 70 and it was sunny and there was no wind. The mountains had been seen even within the distance, not coated by clouds.
I performed at 9:30; Shirley Friedl warmed me up properly and I performed Inge Pils-Feichter who lives subsequent door. She beat Sylvia Reigl within the semis 2,3 (the participant I went three units with final week). I performed rather well and gained 62 61 and hit virtually all of his photographs…and he has an amazing shot from his backhand!
After taking part in I had an extended hole, till it was 2pm, so I acquired gasoline, for my automobile and mine, and had lunch, then I went again to the sport scheduled for 2pm. We had been delayed because it was early within the second set of the blended 65 ultimate once I got here again and Shirley was taking part in the ultimate with Bruno Renoult. They’d one robust set of their final two matches; The toughest a part of the match was the second set, which Shirley and Bruno gained 75…Bruno performed an amazing final recreation throughout Karen Peeter’s time (taking part in with Jacob Panman). The latter workforce competes underneath the Dutch flag however resides in Vienna.
Shirley and I beat Elfie Loescher/Syvia Singer 63 61. The primary set was tight, we had been down 15-40 on my serve at 3-4 and pulled it out which modified the colour of the match.
Whereas I used to be ready for the doubles (and after my singles), I watched the ladies’s 40 ultimate (really between two 45-year-old gamers), Austria’s Sandra Gruber (who knocked out the highest seed in three units yesterday) and Regina Balcune taking part in underneath the Dutch flag. It was an extended, exhausting match… Balcune gave the impression to be caught close to the tip however gained the third set contest. Balcune cuts all of the entrance and mixes a two-handed toppin and cuts his again hand. It was only a nice recreation.
After leaving the membership and leaving my issues in my condominium, I went to depart my automobile at Sixt in Villach, the place the important thing was dropped off. I assumed I’d simply get an Uber however there was none, so I walked about quarter-hour to the closest prepare station…hoping there can be a taxi. They weren’t, so I googled taxis in Villach, they usually despatched somebody to choose me up (which was precisely the Uber value). It took some time however as quickly as I pack, I will probably be prepared for my prepare journey tomorrow morning to Vienna.
