You know your playing tennis in South America when. . .

. . .the tournament official flips a coin to see, not who will serve first, but to see who gets the side of the court without the scorpions. No joke, this is what happened last week. As I was warming up with my opponent before our quarter final match, my opponent noticed scorpions crawling on her side of the court. The tournament official thought the only fair thing to do was flip a coin to determine who started on that side of the court. I lost the flip, but won the match:-)
