Big Day in Berlin




Well, after two matches yesterday and 2 victories, we are in the Main Draw of the Berlin Grand Slam. Baby steps! Our goal was to qualify for a Grand Slam and it happens to be the first one! We played hard and it payed off. I guess our loss to Japan in Poland was a blessing in disguise, cuz it gave us time to rest and recover and play focused, aggressive volleyball. We played Asao/Take of Japan and Semmler/Koehler of Germany. We won both in 2 sets. So today we are off to play Renata/Talita of Brazil and Cook/Barnett of Australia. We have our work cut out for us, now it is the next step we are aiming for. A finish of 17th or higher would be a huge baby step. Let you know how we do!
