It rained for most of the day and it's still raining. I was able to watch my doubles partner Mara Santangelo play on Centre Court during the short time it was dry, however her match was one of the only ones to be completed. I managed to get a practice on the indoor courts and then I also completed a workout in the gym, however the rest of the day was filled in with chatting with my girlfriends up in the players' café. It was like an old reunion today, meeting up with old tennis friends whom I've known since I was 14 years of age and nothing has changed! I believe the friends you make in sport are often the ones you'll keep for life. During the time we met we had the common interest of tennis and no doubt in the future that will remain common ground with so many memorable moments and good times!

 

Seeing my doubles cancelled today I am writing this, jumping in the shower and heading out to Wimbledon village to meet my mates for dinner and a quiet drink. Traditionally, Wimbledon is not played on the middle Sunday, which is tomorrow. This year is no different. So if I happen to go to bed tonight a few minutes past my bed time, it won't be a big issue! It's Saturday night and there's nothing I feel like doing more than sitting in front of a fireplace with my best mates having a laugh... and that's what I'll do!

 

Did I mention St. Kilda, my football team, won today? Go Saints!!!

 

See you tomorrow... I'll be dreaming about some sunshine!
