Having been around all week and see how it all works I am impressed with her two coaches they make sure the girls are responsible for lots of their own things like signing in, carrying their own bags..

DSCF9088Off she goes to the court !!!!

This time she was playing on a court where there was good spectator views Stella sits in one area and now I have the habit of going away on my own from a totally different viewpoint and just watch and think I like this way!!

Again Ashley started slowly and was down 4 –1 before settling down and pulling into a 5-4 lead when her opponent suffered a bad fall trying to change directions..she obviously hurt her ankle and the trainer came on and gave her some treatment and Ashley won the set 7-5….the second set was quite short and Ashley won 6-3 to move into the semi finals…to be honest she did not play her best game this morning but sometimes that happens and she won and it is over..what a huge accomplishment so proud of her.

After her run and cool down her coach takes her aside

So big game tomorrow morning at 8am….so stay tuned….thanks for all the nice e mails about Ashley…blessings to all Les
