Pan Am Games - Tennis

The day started out warm and muggy.  I had hopes that the weather would improve by the time the tennis matches were ready to start.  Unfortunately that didn't happen.  The first rain delay was announced at 10:15 and these delays continued until almost 4:30 in the afternoon.  Sadly this was a work event that I was attending.  We enjoyed a nice lunch together but by 3:15 most of the people were frustrated and decided to head home.  Myself and two other woman that I work with decided to stay and see if any tennis would take place.  They make it very clear that your ticket will not be refunded if they are able to run the event on the same day even though it's at a later time.  It might be the "dutch" in me, not wanting to loose my ticket, but I also truly wanted to see a few of the matches.  I wasn't disappointed.  By 4:00 p.m. the first game finally started.  It was a woman's single match with Canada competing against Mexico.  What amazing athletes these girls are.  This was a quarter final.  Mexico won this match.

I also watched the Men's singles and Woman's doubles as well.  We got rained out again at around 7:30 so I wasn't able to see the mixed doubles.  Oh well, I really enjoyed what I was able to see.
