I woke up at 7. No writing today.
My first racquetball match was against Steve Hale out of Sacramento. I don't know how I won this match. He was very good for a 23 seed player. He hadn't played tournaments in a while. He had great serves and made smart shows. I was down 1-7 in the first game, then somehow managed to get things going and stole the game 15-12. My drive serve was working and my arm felt good, so I continued drive serving. I lost the second game 14-15, and won the tie-breaker 11-4.
I played my doubles match with Carlos Mansilla right afterward and we lost in 3, 9-11 in the tie-breaker. That was a tough one. My arm was starting to bother me after that match.
For the rest of the day I watched the pros play.
Rocky Carson played against local pro Bobby Horn in a tight second game before Rocky eventually rolled past him on his way to the quarter-finals.
Rocky continued to play well against Markie Rojas, who actually took one game from Rocky before succumbing to some incredible drive and z-serves.
#1 Kane Waselenchuck dominated #5 Jose Rojas in three quick games. Kane's serves were so explosive that whenever Jose retrieved them, Kane killed the ball, ending the rally.
I went to bed around 11 or so.
