Monte Carlo Classic

The winners for the Monte Carlo Woman's 3.0 were Stacey Young who took first in a three set dual against Sheila Malmanis 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. And taking third place is  Sachiyo Kobayashi who moved up from ladies 2.5 to play in this tournament. Sachio took number two in the Ladies 2.5 Darling Tournament. Sachiyo showed she can play against 3.0 players by coming very close to beating the tournament winner. She lost to her in the first round 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Not much room there.

Stacey Darling 9th Annual Charity Classic

2.5 ladies singles -  Sachiyo Kobayashi did not relinquish her number one seed position lightly, forcing Ada M Ortiz, the number two seed and doubles champion, to work for it.  After Ada took the first set 6-1, Sachiyo took the second set 6-2, striking a cord in Ada, who then turned it on to win the last set in a very close 7-5. Ada took heed to the very profound advice of "No chatty Kathy" in between games. She "Got focused" and stayed focused. It is a very important principle. It is draining to talk gibberish, and in between games or sets is not the time to make "Small talk" or as Ada put it, be a a"Chatty Kathy." In that case I will make up a name for the same thing with men, "No Babbling Bob."
