I know, I know… I have been bad at getting back to everyone and keeping you up to date. I was actually having some computer issues so I can use that excuse this time. Anyway…I am in Stuttgart, Germany at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix and let me tell you IT’S AWESOME!!! This is how all the tournaments around the world should be. By far it has the best food on the tour and they even give us a Porsche to drive around each day if we want to. I decided to play this last minute after the FedCup final which is whole other story. I wasn’t schedule to play so I missed the cutoff date and couldn’t play qualifying so I decided to come here and play doubles with Nadia and practice for the week. 

Ah yes…FedCup! the Czech was fun since we came away with the victory. I had a blast over there even though my singles play was not helping us. I was able to put it back together with Liezel and we took it to them in the doubles final. When we were down 5-2 and I was on my 2nd serve at 30-40 I didn’t even realize that we were so close to being out of it. I knew that if we won that point and I held serve that we could come back and beat them which is what we did. I am thankful to the USTA and MJ for allowing me to be part of the team as it all started in Surprise,AZ when Craybas, Oudin and Ditty came up big for us and paved the way to the Czech. Even though I didn’t win my singles matches it was still a great time and we have great memories as a team which is what FedCup is about.
