Hello everyone, I'm still writing to you from Monterrey :)
Today I just had my doubles match with Sara, and we won against Dulgheru and Cornet. They are really good players, but we played a good match! I really like playing with Sara. She is my best friend and it's very nice to play together :)
Tomorrow I'm playing second match after 3 o'clock. I will warm up around 11:30 and after a plate of pasta I'll just wait for the match and try to do my best.
I've been asked what I did for my birthday and the answer is nothing special! Me, my coach, Sara and her coach went to an Italian restaurant and had a nice dinner all together. It was great. Of course I offered the dinner!!! :)
I'm going to sleep soon. I don't have jet lag anymore, but I like to sleep a lot!!!!
See you tomorrow my friends!
Ciao ciao,
Robi
You have one of the best slice backhands in the game. Have you ever considered playing more flat/topspin backhands? Fabio, UK
Thank you Fabio! But no, I think I'll play the rest of my career with my slice :)
Is there a place in the world you haven't been to but really want to go to? Utkarsh, India
A nice island with the sea nearby, beaches... like the Maldives or Hawaii!
Will you be coming to Acapulco next week? Ricardo, México
Ciao Ricardo, yes next week I will be playing in Acapulco. It's a nice place and a nice tournament. I like it there - the sea, the resort... wow!!!!!!!!!! I hope to see you there enjoying the tennis!
