- Ben Rothenberg made a great Drew Carey
Well, we couldn’t get to the Young/Stepanek semifinal in Washington this afternoon so we decided to hit the last semifinal hard. Then the rain hit. Hard. After an hour or so at the venue, we ran over and caught one point. One point. Then it rained and rained some more. Ben Rothenberg brilliantly hatched a plan for a spelling bee in the media tent. Loving competition, we signed up. We know we’ve been out of our league for the last two weeks as we studied the professional, money-making media from across the way. We had no idea how out-classed we really were.
Tennis Maryland was knocked out in the first round by the likes of Sergiy Stakhovsky. Twitter’s @MariyaKTennis took the Cup and DC’s @TennisRomi had to settle for the plate. With FIRST names like Thomaz, Sergiy, Alexandr and Jarkko, we never stood a chance. This made the Maryland Bar Exam look like a Scan-Tron walkover. It was the greatest professional-level competition of the night. Much better than that point on Stadium Court that we saw.
