USTA Nationals Day 2

Saturday’s first match was at noon against a very strong Southern California team. Captain Morton used the same pairings and lineup as the day before.

Saturday was day two of the Daytona USTA Sectionals for our Super Senior 4.5 doubles team. Our morning match was against the other SW Florida team and then the afternoon against the (undefeated) St. Pete team.
