Well it's only 8:30pm and I'm absolutely exhausted. I think it's due to long days at the courts, waiting around to play, and using up a lot of mental and nervous energy! Tonight I won my first round doubles match with Mara Santangelo. We played a pretty solid match first up and I'm looking forward to our later rounds!

I lost my Sony Ericsson phone at the courts today. I was in a mad panic running around trying to find it. That's all I need - to be in a foreign country and have no means to contact all my friends at home! Gone are the days of remembering everyone's number. The fact that nearly all the female players on the Tour have the same phone did not help my plight, but thankfully someone handed it in. I got lucky this time!

 

It's Friday in the UK but Saturday morning is just beginning in Australia... that means football is starting, and it's very important I read the papers from home and keep up with all the latest results and action from the weekend in Australia! Going to watch Australian Rules Football is actually one of my favorite past-times; I love it! There's always an incredible atmosphere where the crowd gets very fired up. I support a team called St. Kilda, however I also have a soft spot for Collingwood. I hope not too many football fans read this as if they do I could be crucified for supporting those two teams! For those of you who are unaware, football is a religion in Australia - there is no other way to put it!

 

As I write this all I can think about is putting my pyjamas on, grabbing my book and heading to bed. In fact, that's what I'm going to do right now! Goodnight all, enjoy your weekend, I know you will!

 

See you soon,
