Sri Lanka defeats Peru, 5-0!!
That was easy, though not as easy as it may have looked. Girsh had some tense moments, and was quite fortunate to get through his first match in straight sets. Peru came into the season unprepared as they did last year, and paid the price. Other favorites were not so lucky; in our group Italy upset France 3-2, putting them in a good position to advance. The world's third-ranked nation might not even get out of group play; that would be something.
Tune-ups for the AO are next on our agenda, and when the WTC continues we've got France indoors.
