Update: Well into my first tournament of the year here in Andrezieux-Boutheon, France for the $60,000 event. Really pleased my partner and I are into the quarter finals after beating a German pair yesterday in a close contested 3-6 7-6 (5) 10-5 victory. We trailed 3-6 2-4 before managing to gain some momentum by tactically out smarting our powerful opponents using lobs, formations on the serve and set patters of poaching which took some doing as the courts here are very very fast! Tomorrow we face an even more powerful Romanian team. Today I did some training out on the running track and my daily core workout in the gym which isn’t quite Halton gym..making me feel very spoilt with the resources I have back at home! Looking forward to getting back out onto the Pink Panther courts tomorrow! Au revoir!

Programme: Competition

Update: Day off today before commencing my last week of training before my tournament week in France $60,000 event. This weeks training will consist of a lot of match play scenarios. Trying to replicate pressure situations in order to try to best prepare for the tough situations I will no doubt find myself in during a match..3-3 30:30 in the 3rd set for example or a break point down in the second set having to serve a second serve. I find it really helpful to try to replicate these scenarios during training so that I feel as prepared as I can for the challenges I will face in a tournament. Looking forward to training with the rest of the ProV3 squad this week.
