2008 Fed Cup Quarterfinal

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s Fed Cup Time!

That’s right! Country versus country via women’s tennis. This time I took a short hop down to La Jolla, California. The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club is a wonderful place to watch pro tennis. It’s right on the beach, and you can actually see the nearby surf from the upper levels of the temporary stadium. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera, so I just have a couple of quick pics from my cel phone.

Liz & Me @ Fed Cup 2008

This is my friend Liz and I after we got our free face painting and pom poms. Of course, I’ve learned from my Davis Cup experiences, so I have the American flag draped around my neck. Liz and I met a couple of years ago when the United States Davis Cup team beat Romania at this same venue.

It was a tough weekend for the American Women, because of the German competition, and especially the rain delays. Sunday’s final matches had to be played on Monday!

2008 Fed Cup Team

This is my camera-phone self portrait with the winning American team of (left to right) Laura Granville, Lisa Raymond, Ashley Harkleroad, Lindsay Davenport, and team captain, Zina Garrison!

The Americans beat the Germans 4-1.

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
