So here is my first blog of 2007, long past overdue, I know, so much for the new years resolution, and I’m still biting my nails, figures right? Besides that I’m really happy with the start of the season. We worked very hard training for the Australian Open in Hawaii and I had some big wins down under. We were in Australia for almost four weeks, which I really can’t complain about. It was nice to be able to unpack for more than 10 days, and the official hotel is part of a casino, so we were never bored..haha. It was a great few weeks for American tennis, huge props to the Bryan Bros and Serena for clinching the titles. I think that all got us really excited for the Davis Cup tie this week.
I opted to spend a few days in Miami before the Superbowl to unwind. I read in the paper that there were nearly 200 parties last week. I only hit up a few..haha…and I think at one point I was the only non quarterback at this one club…oh well, I was in good company to say the least, it was practically my entire fantasy football team. We left for the Czech Republic before the game on Sunday. With the time difference, we wanted to get acclimated and of course start grinding on the clay. It’s pretty much freezing here, no seriously I’m pretty sure the forecast yesterday said 0 degrees. It’s kind of funny because we look like the typical American tourists who wear like 10 t-shirts because of course we didn’t pack “appropriately” as our parents would say. But I can’t complain, at least our bags made it this time.
