Back in London and feeling good on grass
Hi everybody,
I am back in London and back writing this blog. First of all I would like to
thank this newspaper for giving me this opportunity to write this blog again
here during WIMBLEDON and thanks to all you readers for following me and
reading what a non writer like me does. I hope I don't make too many mistakes.
I feel great back here in London, or better if I say at Wimbledon. I had a
great week in London after Roland Garros playing at the Artois Championships
at Queen's. I didn't think I could win it when I was travelling on the
Eurostar (without air conditioning by the way) with my parents and a couple
of my team. We went straight from the station to the club to practice and
when I first hit my ball the sensations were different. I did feel better on
the next day playing doubs and the feeling got better and better every day.
So great win, my first title on grass and really looking forward to this
year's Wimbledon.
I decided after lifting the trophy to change a bit my plans and went to
Mallorca to rest for 3 days. I only got back here to London yesterday and had
my first practice at Wimbledon yesterday. As I say I was supposed to come
back to London on Monday or Tuesday the latest to start preparing for
Wimbledon.
But changed that since I needed 3 days of rest. I have only been at home 8
days in the last 4 months and that's also "thanks" to the fact that I lost
1st round in Rome. Otherwise it would have been only 4 days... Tough. So I
needed those 3 days at home, playing golf, being with my family and friends
and forgetting a bit about tennis.
I was supposed to play today an exhibition at Hurlingham Club but had to
cancel since I did not feel ready to play and could not cheat to the people
there. I feel I needed to practice a bit more here and so I decided to cancel
that participation.
In any case here we are and l hope you will follow me this Wimbledon.
Thanks. Rafa
