Well, people have been asking for another blog. I've been a little hesitant as my summer has not gone as well as I had hoped and there hasn't been any successes to write about in the doubles world. I won't go into the details of each loss, but a few of them came with match points, a few we came out and just didn't play that great. The good thing is that US Open is still upcoming and a good result there can negate a summer of frustrating losses. I'll be back to write more fu...
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2009 It was a great start to the year I got to the quarterfinals of singles and the finals of doubles at a 25k in Laguna Niguel California. I was not sure it was going to be such a great start because the week leading up to the tournament was spent admiring our new president and attending the many functions that were held in his name.

I left you last after having received a phone call saying that I needed to be in Italy the next day. Any of you who know my sister Natasha know that my panicking was only done in vein. 5 minutes later everything was all sorted.

I put clothes on grabbed my things ran down to the lobby to make sure I had a ride and waited until 2am when the taxi was going to pick me up to take me to the airpor...
We arrived in Johannesburg at around 6pm. I was having a private panic attack because it was starting to get dark. All I had heard about South Africa/Johannesburg is that it is very dangerous particularly after sunset. Anyway we were fine nothing happened to us. This caused me question if I should listen to all of the craziness that I hear before I go somewhere new. I was told I would love to Dubai. I hated it-not because of what happened while I was there. It was too a...
Friday, March 13, 2009 I wrote my last blog when I was in Memphis waiting to sign in for the WTA event. I guess I probably don't need to tell you that I didn't get into either singles or doubles. Which was a terrible disappointment but I was still sick so it was probably a blessing in disguise. After I didn't play in Memphis I went to Williamsburg to recuperate for a few days. I then flew to Denver-yes I said Denver -to train on indoor green clay for an outdoor red clay WTA eve...
