Me and my coach were traveling from Cincinnati to South Hampton the day after my loss against Na Li. Left Cincinnati with mixed feelings actually… It was a good week for me i got many matches and i played good tennis so thats always nice. BUT when you get far you always wanna get further, thats just the way it works.
I lost againt Na Li around lunch time on my birthday. And after the match i was very tired both mentally but also body wise, so i took it really easy in the afternoon. My coach suggested that we do something else so we ended up playing 9 holes golf in the evening. And what an evening it was, played really good golf in beautifuuuuul weather and sun set. Felt like being in a fairytale=) Just because of the amazing weather i was not really caring so much about the fact that i lost the golf too against my coach with one shot…
So right now im in Southampton practicing before US Open. Me and my coach are very lucky caus we get to stay with the family Gradin. They own an amazing big house with their own tennis court in the garden, so i can practice as much as i want anytime i want. You cant get it much better than this to be fair. Its very luxus and nice for a change to stay with a family like this and play with their kids in between and do something else than just tennis and hotel room all day long.
So im super happy to be here and i hope the days wont pass by too quick caus this place here i never wanna leave….
Tomorrow my coach decided that we will take a run on the beach before breakfast just to wake up a little. But Im wondering if it is caus he wanna enjoy a light beach run with company or that he is trying to get me more awake in the morning before our first session of the day…
Whatever it is i better be ready at 8 am with my running shoes on and tighten up;)
