After one last day of sightseeing, it was down to the "serious" business of tennis on the court. The IC of the Czech Republic 6 Nations event is a friendly competition among 6 nations this year: Australia, The Bahamas, Czech Republic, Hungary, Uruguay and the United State of America. It is the largest such event in Czech Republic IC history with nearly 70 players participating. As such, we played timed matches of one hour each. Sue and I started with a mixed doubles match against the Australian team of John Stephens (who had played Wimbledon in his youth and now in his 70's) and Miranda Yates, who competed on the  WTA Tour during the 1980's. It was a gratifying 11-2 win as our doubles experience together won out against two formidable players.

During the evening, the Old Town Square was alive with music, jugglers, fire-eating ladies and magic acts with the beautiful historic buildings as a backdrop.
