Saturday 8th August

7am

Didn’t sleep well, woke up every hour or so and don’t feel rested. Am nervous and not in a good mood.

9.15am

Feel pretty good physically, thought my legs would feel heavy today but they aren’t, didn’t have a great practice though :( timing all over the place. Trying to remember it has no bearing on what is to come. Its hot already and although I just changed into my matchkit am still sweating a lot. Gatorade check. Ice bags check. Water check. Sweatbands check. Visor check. 2 towels check. Raisins check. Handgrip powder check. Rackets newly gripped, strung and stencilled-check. Ok, I’m ready to do battle.
