Saturated tennis balls sporting spinning rooster-tails soak players as they stroke through heavy water-laden balls.The rain began the moment Curt arrived, but players decide to brave the slippery conditions to complete their long awaited match. Schewe leads early in each set, but Curt demonstrated a strong service game with well placed shots frequently putting Schewe on the defense. Curt would frequently hit deep to the baseline, causing Schewe to retreat backward. This put Schewe out of position, and most often caused a bad hit. Despite this, Schewe stays close, making virtually every game a multi-deuce marathon! The wet courts did pose a safety issue, but players restrained themselves just enough to prevent injury. Every point was a joy to watch, as the spinning balls flung spray into the air, sometimes soaking the players. Curt eliminates Schewe from 2011 competition with a 6-2,6-2 victory in the rain.
