Big Shout out to Orlando Tennis Center, http://www.orlandotenniscenter.com/ located in downtown Orlando Florida, who hosted the ITF Pro-Circuit Tournament. What a great weekend in Central Florida. We took in the tennis tournament and Winter Park Arts Festival all in the same weekend. We visited the tournament many times throughout the week but by far our favorite day was Saturday morning singles and the doubles finals. This was followed up by the rest of the afternoon and evening enjoying the festivities in Winter Park. OTC made this event a great success for both the players and fans. The courts were in great shape, and the tournament ran exceptionally smoothly. As a fan, this event was a great opportunity to see many upcoming players.
The singles final gave the fans a classic. Masa Zec-Peskiric of Slovakia took on Michaela Boev of Belgium. Michaela won the first 9 games. At 6-0, 3-0, it appeared that this was going to be a blow out. However, Masa won a hard fought 10th game, and from their stole all of the momentum of the match. Masa ended up winning 0-6, 6-4, 6-1. Congrats to Masa and Michaela for a great well fought contest.
Nikola FRANKOVA (CZE) / Nathalia ROSSI (BRA)~ Doubles Champions
It was great to get a glimpse of the gritty, tennis trenches of the ITF pro-circuit. A wonderful day of watching tennis could only be appropriately followed by a stroll of the cute shops, cafes and boutiques of Park Ave, Winter Park. The WP Art Festival was underway, and it appeared that all of Central Fl was strolling the Ave that day.
We sat outside on the patio for an evening of Delicious Mexican food, mojitos and margaritas with friends. The atmosphere was wonderful and so was the food. A little pricy for your typical Mexican menu but the surroundings and the drinks makes up for that. My personal favorite was the mojitos!! Woot woot.
