It's opening night of the NFL. I'm watching Moons Over Mahomey. They're already down a TD to the Texans

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

After all the netcords ,shades of Serena's previous match the tide has turned she breaks Brady and leads 3-1 final set

 

[kskate2]

Make that 4-1 w/ another hold and another netcord

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

OK, I had to miss the whole last set. Any recap?

2nd set was high quality and tight,Brady got her BP towards the end of the 2nd set with a Osaka FH error.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Make that 4-1 w/ another hold and another netcord

Time for the NFL pool? Could be weird.
