Kerri will play at 4AM EST to R2 of Q. That’s a lucky break. A couple teams must have dropped out. Yesterday they listed 32 teams in the qualifier. So now they only need one win to get into the main draw.

Have you ever heard the saying : you cannot judge a book by its cover? that's why I wrote that her easy going nature could be misinterpreted as lack of fire/focus/commitment.

Have you ever heard the saying : you cannot judge a book by its cover? Or read the book , the millionaire next door ? In the past years Summer didn’t have a full time trainer, weightlifting partner and multiple coaches providing full time support. She has embraced the opportunities at an elite level and regularity adds her own efforts outside of team workouts. She has ice water in her veins and only needs to refine the elite mental focus it will take in crunch time to close out the best teams, imho. What other teams have held A/A to 21-12 sets, only to hit 4 serves out and lose 15-13 or worse in the 3rd? All these top 10 teams are close and down the stretch you must be a closer like April has been. I like this statement about Summer. She is similar to Misty May in terms of the fact that although she isn’t the most the dynamic athlete, she has superb technique. I’m just wondering what it’s going to take for S&S to be able to knock off teams that are more athletic than them. I don’t see how they win against the A Team playing straight up volleyball and trying to “out athleticism” them. Perhaps more creativity in their offense?

Are we actually comparing Summer to Misty? 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Misty wasn’t the most dynamic athlete?

Anyone surprised that McNamara twins did not get out of qualification ?

Anyone surprised that McNamara twins did not get out of qualification ? Not really. It’s a 40 hour travel day and probably their first long haul flight like that.
