brtish guys have all had an illness which was being passed around in the training weeks before we came here, Bit of a stinker really. touch wood im the only one not to have it. i won this morning 61 63. Stefan was 2-2 in the third when i left the club, not sure if he has won and matt short took the first set like 62 i think. comfy would be surprised if he lost. Every single court here is different which makes things interesting!
Off back to the club now to see whats happening as i play the winner of stefans match.

played an absolute helmet today. Played on a court that was the most slanted court i have ever played on. me and matt were on the same one, and the wind was going with the slant, so down the one end u couldnt hit it past the service line and down the other, u couldnt keep it in the court.
"2 and half hours " for two sets battling it out. Was fun in that respect as i like a battle but was impossible to play any sort of real tennis.
Im number one lucky loser, so will sign in tomorrow and the day after and see what happens, also number one alternate for doubles! could be terrible and wait around for a few days for nothing, or could be good.
