The matches were one set with sudden death at deuce. This caused the games to move pretty fast and finished between 30-45 minutes. It was a pleasant 45 degrees and sunny at the start of the first game, but the temperature easily dropped 5-10 degrees by the finish of the second game.
Game 1: D2
D'Evelyn started off serving and lost the first 3 games, before rallying with a couple of wins. Ultimately, Chatfield's D2 finished up 6-3. Nisha played well with her partner, but the power displayed by Chatfield was difficult to match. If not for some strong net play by D'Evelyn and unforced errors by Chatfield, the score would not have been as close.
Nisha felt good about her play, but admitted the speed was a big step up from her match against Bear Creek. She did roll her ankle near the end of the match, but shook it off.

Game 2: JV
D'Evelyn again started off serving both team lost when serving the first 4 games. A lot of this was double faults and the absence of getting a rally going. D'Evelyn secured the win taking 4 of the last 5 games with a final score of 6-3.
Nisha felt good about her play. The tempo of the match was decidedly slower.

I enjoyed keeping stats, but it was not easy. I felt like I was losing track by quickly recording Nisha's performance and the score. It was obviously harder when she was serving. I did not track overhead shots of defensive lobs, but I do like the tennis stats tracker written an published by Joel Loo.
