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.
