Day Two of the 2004 USTA Zone Team Championships certainly didn't go as smoothly as the first. The rain destroyed any chance of outdoor play this afternoon at the Shelter Rock Tennis Club in Manhasset. Fortunately, the Port Washington Tennis Academy was just a few miles away and matches moved indoors.
The 120 junior tennis players from five regional sections - Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, Middle States, New England and Northern - had a rough few hours, but the tournament directors pulled it all together and finished up the days as scheduled. I spent most of the day behind the tournament desk getting the matches out today. Weather permitting, I'll be back out among the courts tomorrow to get some action shots of the players.
