Hello from Canada! I arrived this evening and have gotten settled.

There are alot of new faces in this tournament. Canada has a good number of players. It definitely feels good to be at a tournament. We had way too long of a break. Although, I have to admit, I'm nervous. :eek: Anyway...on to the draw.

I play Bonnie Coats at 12:45. Bonnie plays good. She runs the Ladies SPIRIT tour in Florida. It is good to see her playing in a pro tournament. I have only played her once, a couple years ago in Amateur Nationals. We will see how it goes.

Melissa Herndon plays fellow Californian Jane Fujinaga. I'm sorry I can't remember what time she will be playing.

Jennifer is playing Melissa Morris from California. I didn't get a chance to see who Lisa is playing.

Hopefully the brackets will be up soon at www.wpba.com so you can all keep up with your favorite players.

I will be back tomorrow to keep everything updated.

Take care,
Sarah

Hi everyone. The tournament has started out good so far. I played a pretty good first match. I won 9-5. I started out great but got a little lazy in the middle and finished strong. Hopefully I can stay strong through the whole next match, it will be a tough one I'm sure. I play either Jeri Engh or Laura Smith.

Melissa beat Jane Fujinaga. I don't have a score to report. Jennifer beat Melissa Morris 9-5 and I believe Lisa won her match. I was warming up for my match while she was playing so I am not certain. A good start for all of us AZbilliards girls.

Another match to talk about was the Kelly Fisher vs. Allison Fisher match. I will let everyone know, Kelly can play some 9ball. She did not miss a ball and jumped out to a commanding lead 8-2. Allison did not let that get her though. She showed why she is the number one player in the world and came back to win 9-8. This was definitely a classic match and a great debut for Kelly Fisher.

I will be back with another update tonight. I play at 9pm.

Take care,
Sarah
 
Well, bad news. I lost my match to Laura Smith 9-7. I missed two balls the whole set and they proved to be very important. There were alot of combinations throughout the match. Laura goes on to play Monica Webb. I play the winner of Sueyen Rhee and Gail Lave at 5:30 pm tomorrow.

Melissa and Jennifer both won their matches tonight. Unfortunately Lisa and I lost.

Some other interesting matches tonight were Dawn Hopkins vs. Karen Corr. Dawn was winning the match 7-3 but Karen came back to win 9-7. The top two players have shown their comeback power today! Another match was Alice Rim vs. Monica Webb. Alice was ahead in the match 8-6 and Monica cameback to win 9-8. She made a great out to win. Helena Thornfeldt vs. Line Kjorsvik was also a 9-8 thriller with Helena winning.

Take care,
Sarah
 
Still cheering for ya, sista! Go get 'em.

What a long day...at least it seems like it. :)

My first match was against Sueyen Rhee. It was a tough match because Sueyen is one of my good friends. She has helped me alot on my pool path. It was a very ugly match for her. I think she used up her bad luck for the next year all in one set. I ended up winning the match 9-1. I played alright but I really felt bad for all of the bad luck she was having. I guess that is the way the balls roll sometimes though.

Second match was Alice Rim. Another tough match because I have been good friends with Alice since I was 13. We both got some good rolls and we both got some bad rolls. It really wasn't a well played match for either one of us. Alice was ahead 5-2, then 6-5, then 6-6, then I was ahead 8-6, then 8-8. The last game was an ugly one. Alice missed the 3 ball. I ran down to the 7 and got bad position. Not bad position but I forgot that I am right handed and left great lefty position. I tried to play safe, but it was a bad one. Alice missed the 7 and left me out. It was a shaky out, but it worked.

Other matches that were interesting were the Jennifer Barretta vs. Jeanette Lee. Jennifer won 9-5.

Hsin Huang beat Gerda Hofstatter 9-7.

Ga-young Kim was down 7-2 against Allison and fought back to a 8-8 match but missed a carom/safety and Allison ran out to win 9-8.

Melissa Herndon was down 7-3 against Vivian Villarreal and came back to 8-8. Melissa broke and ran to the 3 and missed. Vivian ran out for the win.

Sarah Ellerby and Julie Kelly also went 8-8. Sarah looked to be breaking and running out but missed the 5. Julie ran out for the win.

So 11 am tomorrow is coming up really quick. I have to get some sleep so I can take on Gerda tomorrow.

Take care,
Sarah
