British Open- Day 1

     The tournament started for Ontario with Hannah playing first today against a girl from Italy.  The club was jam-packed and very hard to move around to watch matches.  Hannah got off to a great start, winning the first point of the game.  Game one stayed tight until about 7-7 when her opponent went on a bit of a run and took game one.  Hannah played tough in the next two games but unfortunately her opponent took the match.  

     Hop into an Uber and head over the University Club where Ryan was playing at 1:30.  Ryan was playing a player from the US who was very tough.  He hit it hard, had good touch and his lengths were perfect.  Despite playing very well Ryan lost in 3 games.  Neither one plays now until tomorrow so we had the rest of the day to tour around.

     Our original plan was the visit Cadbury World but who would have thought that it was sold out until January 24th!  So that was out.  We opted to hit a very large shopping mall in downtown Birmingham.  It reminded of a big shopping mall in the states but after a few hours, everyone was exhausted and ready to head home.  Dinner in and off to bed early tonight.  Not many pictures from today but here they are.
