Two more days of working at Pacific Life and nothing has been too exciting yet. 
I would have to say the Tuesday was the most excitement. Even though the matches were short and the day ended before the day shift was over, we did get in on some excitement.
Anastasi Rodionova really had a melt down and not because of the high temperatures. She started by being upset at some line calls and not being ready when her opponent, Tatiana Poutchek was ready to serve. One time Tatiana even served. The crowd was not happy with her actions and let her know about it. I am not sure why she called for a referee after the first set and what ever it was she must have lost because she got a delay of game warning. Then after two points in the next game she called for a trainer. She had tak
en advantage of calling in her coach between sets but since it was not court one she could not challenge the line calls. The second set just got worse and she couldn’t let go of the line calls and crowd and lost that in short order. Maybe as she gets more experience she will understand that you have to play on even if you don’t like a call, don’t dwell on it.
Anyway we only had to work about two hours and we were gone. Thursday I got the upper bowl in stadium one. It is early in the week so there were no matches on interest during the day. The sets were only taking about an hour and the biggest job I had was staying awake. It was a warm day in the sun and in the upper bowl you have no crowd control and seat problems to solve. So you just set in the sun and watch dull matches. On of the women had a very fast serve, over 120 MPH but still lost. She was older and trying to make a come-back and the younger player just had better shots. So we should start seeing some of the better players when we start to work on Sunday.
