Laughing the Rain Away @FamilyCircleCup: @PaulaOrmaechea, @SaraErrani

The gray skies couldn’t dampen the spirits of Paula Ormaechea at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston this afternoon. The Argentine signed autographs for a small group of kids and each one seemed to crack her up in their own little way.

She laughed for five straight minutes.

Afterward, she was so giddy she insisted on driving the getaway vehicle and WTA consigliere @DannyKendall relented.

Vamos!

Ormaechea plays a qualifier in the opener. The winner of that match awaits Sara Errani in the second round. Errani seemed to be in a very good mood herself today. I predict a very pleased player making the third round in this quarter.

Final Round Qualifying, Williams vs. Kudla Take Center Stage @BBTAtlantaOpen Day 3 Action

BB&T Atlanta Open Site

Third round qualies will finish up in Hotlanta starting at 1:00 p.m. Monday, with King vs. Ginepri, Smyczek vs. Young, Ebden vs. Guccione, and Amritraj vs. Zverev.

After those matches, the main draw will fire up with Ryan Harrison vs. Marinko Matosevic and a doubles match of Evgeny Donskoy/Denis Istomin vs. Colin Fleming/Jonathan Marray.

Bro Down Showdown

The lone nightcap match, besides the “Bro Down Showdown” exhibition doubles event, is the Young American Battle beween Denis Kudla and Rhyne Williams for a spot in the 2nd round. This is a like a ‘Bro Down Showdown’ in and of itself.  Two ATFs of this blog, they last faced off in Atlanta indoors for the last installment of the USTA Wild Card Playoffs in Norcross, Georgia, with Williams the victor. The blog wishes they both could win tomorrow, but alas they cannot,

Rhyne is Fine
