An Exciting and LONG day of tennis

Wow- What a day Sunday was!

Mark had his Singles match at 10am. It went into a Third set tie break and he lost to his USTA doubles partner.  Ben started playing around 11:30, which was towards the end of Mark's match, so he couldn't watch the end.

Ben then played his singles match and was amazing. He looked sharp and his shots were fantastic! He won and advanced to the FINALS! We had to get him fueled up and back to the club.  He played in the finals around 4pm and lost in a third set tie break to the same guy Mark lost to.  What a match! It was some great tennis.

Mietzner    6-4; 1-6  I told Joe (the guy that beat MArk and Ben) that I was upset he beat up on my husband and my boy.  He said to bring on your daughter!  ;) It was funny. Then time to get Ben fueled up again and back for doubles! Mark and Ben played around 7pm and won to advance into the finals! They played outside and it was dark and hard to see the ball. So when their last match went on around 9:30ish-10pm, the mosquitos were out, and the playing environment was bad. Not to mention how tired they must have been.

He was excited to be there.....

Losing interest and getting tired......

Now excited for Ice cream! In between the two doubles matches, Hannah Ashton and I went to get some ice cream.  We had to get him Sugared up to stay up late! ;)  I did get Mark and Ben some and put it in the freezer at home. They sure deserved it after a very long weekend!

They played hard, but lost in the end. Ben made some money towards the Tennis club's pro shop, so that is pretty exciting.  We are all extremely tired this Monday morning. Feel the worst for Mark who had to work early today. Hopefully he can get some good sleep tonight!
