Davis Cup

Hi all,  i would just like to say a big thank you to all of you who commented on my Davis Cup performance and my rather long match in the play-offs. It was such a tremendous honour to play for Great Britain. It has given me so much confidence and i have learnt so much that now i feel like i’ m better player just from 2 weeks. I just hope i can play myself into the next match and have a better team result! Thanks again for the support.

Epic

Gruelling day yesterday. Great to win, need my body to recover for tomorrow.   And eat 5,000 calories !!!

1st Tournament of 2009

Off to Glasgow today for the 1st tournament of the season.  A futures event.

It has been an exhausting training spell this winter but I am faster and stronger.

Can’t wait to get back on court !!

Pre-season training

I have just started my 6 week pre-season training block 2 prepare me for another long tough year next year. This consists of weights everyday alternating upper and lower body, lots of stomach exercises, balance, and shoulder strength work to prevent any injuries, cardio track sessions in the freezing cold outside in Wimbledon park and hot bikram yoga in a room of 40 degrees Celsius.

 This is very grueling and demanding period but its just as important to being successful as the playing and winning of matches.
