What an exciting week of play it was with 4 of 5 matches on Sunday going 3 sets and the 4 of 5 matches on Tuesday going 3 sets. My wife, son and I were fortunate enough to be in the fronton on Sunday. Some friends from Illinois were also able to come down and enjoy the action. If you have not seen the action live, it is even faster than watching online. In addition to the exciting action, we met several players (Benny, CRB, El Barba and Roque) as well as Andrew’s parents. A Big Thank You to Stu, Andrew, Nate K and the entire Magic City crew that makes this amazing sport happen. I also got to say hello to Scott Savin.
