Welcome to Miami

Hello everybody, I know I haven't written in awhile. I've been busy and lazy ;) Does that combination makes sense to you?? Living in my world it does.. I just got to MIA from Indian Wells. It's good to be in Mia.. Indian Wells was ok. I thought I played well second round against Stakhovsky. I controlled the whole match,serving great and finished it quick and easy. These new Babolat shoes are awesome. So light. Against Roger in 3rd round i felt i didn't have that much control over the match which is pretty normal when you play against him. I had my chance in the first set tie break. I was up 3/1 but then i lost few points in a row and he took the first set. Second set was pretty similar in the beginning until 3/2 when he broke me. That was combination of my serving mistakes and him playin great passing shots. I didn't put a lot of first serves in that game and at deuce he passed me with half volley forehand that was going million miles per hour. What the hell was that!!? Thats tennis my friends. Lost one or two points and then I'm packing my bags. Next week is Key Biscayne tournament. One of my favorites. I'm already in Miami so I'll have time to hit the clubs and party a little cuz you gotta have fun in life.. Until next time..
