The USF club tennis team has been a blast, and this past weekend was no exception. We went up to Gainesville for the annual Gatorbowl Tennis Tournament on Friday night, and with matches starting at 9 am on Saturday, it was a long but fun weekend. We lost in the first round to FIU, I believe it was…but that wasn’t the end of the road. Dropping down into the consolation bracket, we played Univ of Kentucky, Alabama, and another school I can’t remember, beating them all. We finished up at 9 pm on Saturday and went to a party that one of the UF guys was hosting at his house.
Without a doubt, craziness ensued but a good time was had by all.
Sunday morning it was a little tough to wake up, but we managed to beat one of UF’s teams to put us in the consolation finals, where we drew another UF team. Three hours and a little racket tossing later we won the bracket. Not too bad, considering there were 21 mens teams from around the southeast who showed up. Needless to say I’m a little sore today, as we played the equivalent of 12 matches over 2 days, 8 of which were on Saturday. The next tournament is in Daytona on clay, then I believe we head down to Miami for a tournament hosted by UM.
