Natalie & Tommy win Tranzparanz Open

Today in the final I played really well... all my balls were going in, I made very few mistakes. Louise is a tough player so I had to make sure not to let her in.

 After my match I watched my husband play an intense 5 set match... It was hot and bouncy on the court yet the boys persisted on playing at an extremely high pace. They were making me exhausted watching it! It was such a close match it could've gone either way, but I was happy that Tommy won.

It's weird to play a professional tournament where you have more then 1 match in a day... I haven't done that for many years.  There is a requirement of 4 hours between matches for this size tournament... though I prefer to just keep going then have the break.

It's been fairly hot here (hot in Holland is anything over 25 degrees) the last few days and the ball seems to be bouncing more then it usually does. I've been told we're expecting a "HEAT WAVE" (30 degrees for more then 3 days in a row) next week... what they call a heat wave us Aussie call summer!
