Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog :)

I'm a little tired right now, because I just came from Fed Cup in Slovakia. It was very tough emotionally and physically, but we're so happy we won our tie. It's a nice feeling. I felt so good on the court and I'm hoping to play the same here.

My results in Australia were very good. I had good preparation in the off-season - two weeks of fitness in the mountains and a month of practice in Prostejov. I'm feeling very good right now. I'm pretty tired right now so I will keep this one short... but I will write more tomorrow! And please send your questions!

Talk to you tomorrow,

Petra
