Energy as the Game-Changer
For Augie Ge, the difference between Saturday and Sunday was noticeable, and it boiled down to one essential factor: energy.
“Yesterday, we felt like we played alright, but we just came out a little flat with a couple nagging injuries. So today we just knew that we had to bring the adrenaline because it was do-or-die, and I’m glad we did.” – (Augie Ge)
This surge in energy was evident on the court, where Augie Ge and Hurricane Tyra Black swiftly won over the formidable duo of Jack Sock and Lea Jansen in mixed doubles. Their victories set the tone early, as the Dallas Flash’s other mixed pairing of JW Johnson and Jorja Johnson didn’t even need to take the court to clinch the match.
The Power of Team Consistency
Hurricane Tyra Black also credited her teammates for creating an environment where she could excel. “I know my whole team is so solid, so I can go out there and kind of do whatever I want and just play free.” she explained, her voice echoing the confidence that permeated the Dallas Flash’s lineup.
“It’s the best feeling to be able to play like that.” – (Hurricane Tyra Black)
