International Tennis… in Vermont

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

This weekend we went up to see the Fed Cup 2007 World Group Semifinals in the most unlikely of places: Stowe, Vermont.

Here’s a blurry shot of Venus Williams driving one back at Russia’s Nadia Petrova during the second game on Saturday.

Now, despite the fact that I took tennis lessons for almost an entire year in Junior High School, I have managed to survive into adulthood knowing absolutely nothing about the sport. (What is that whole “love” thing anyway?) These matches, I must admit, were pretty amazing to see up-close. Makes me wonder what I might be able to do if I too were, say, fit.

Potentially even more amazing than the witnessed feats of strength was the fact that the above stadium, such as it was, had been assembled just a few days before in a giant pasture; all in the middle of the mountains of Vermont.

I wonder how they evicted the cows.
