It was an eventful Fed Cup today. The weather varied between hot, humid, cloudy and breezy, but the main thing was that the courts stayed dry. Lots of reunions today. It was fun to see friends who have returned from vacations, as well as Debbie Youngerman, visiting from Florida. Ulli Arendt reunited with Ingrid, her daughter’s (Nicole) first tennis teacher. The competition was close as usual. Congratulations to Germany (289), Greece (272), Australia(271) and Andorra (265).
