New car, new tournaments

The past week has been very exciting for me as I have just received my new Seat Ibiza car from Spur Garage as a sponsorship deal. It really does make a difference driving a car which has everything working.

  I am off this weekend for a couple of big ATP events, which i will play qualifying in. The first is in metz, France and then i go onto Stockholm to play another big ATP event. These are the top level tournaments and to be in the main draw you have to be inside 70 in the world. I am massively looking forward to this challenge and hope that i can put my tennis up against the best in the world again!

Davis Cup Practice

I have spent the last couple of days practising at Wimbledon with the Davis Cup team, which was great fun and a good experience.

I am planning to go to Grenoble next week to try and qualify for a large Challeger tourney, but I’m ill so may decide not to travel.

Mulhouse

Last week I lost in the 2nd round of the singles which was disappointing. 

The doubles went much better and we were runners up, winning the quarters & semis in the champions tie break, which doubles events now have in place of a 3rd set. 

Spent yesterday travelling to Mulhouse for the 1st indoor event of the autumn which will start tomorrow.

Back on court again

I am now in Bagneres-de-Bigorre in France playing in a $15k Futures event.

Won my 1st round singles yesterday 8-6 in the 3rd set tiebreak.  Also won doubles 6-4 6-4.

Tough day but good.
