Tournament Tough

Lately the northeast has seen some of the most extreme winter weather in recent memory. Three weeks ago the "Snowacane" dropped over 30 inches of snow in some areas. Last weekend a powerful Noreaster whipped hurricane force winds across the local region. I expected most of the tournament matches would be canceled or postponed during the height of each of these storms but remarkably many matches were played. While hitting an 80 mile per hour serve second serve down match point is brave, driving 80 miles during a blizzard to play a match is truly tournament tough.
