ball bottom coming easy great hitting level playing results since time won
It's not easy coming back from a long lay-off but it was great to be back playing. It was my first time back here since I won in 2003. I had great preparation and I've been hitting the ball well in practice, but at the level we are playing at results are the bottom line.
bizarre doubt four lost match playing points sort sudden
It's no doubt the most bizarre match I've ever played. I'm just sort of shocked. To play the first set as I did and him to play, I think I only lost four points in the first set... all of a sudden I'm playing a different player.

Obviously, I've been working hard back home and putting a lot of time on the court and in the gym, but when you step out on the match court it is the next level,
