Don't worry though, I take all my pins/wax/doll-making kit with me wherever I go (had it in the hold luggage on Friday which is why Djokovic won so easily )

Bethan, I really am thinking I will have to retire from the coven. I was devastated at my lack of success against Djoko - my powers are obviously waning!

yeah, i know its good, cause he will be 22pts closer for the next jump, but still imagine reaching the semis of a challenger, be defending no points and not go anywhere.
he is bound to lose 12 points, week after cardiff, as i cant see him playing in brazil. and lanzarote seems to be pushed a week back this year.
hopefully, he will use the week break after cardiff to rest up, b4 heading for a run on clay events (although he might play lanzarote again).
