Hi guys, I'm glad to be doing this blog here at Wimbledon for you!
I remember I was the first one to start doing a blog on the junior circuit here at Wimbledon in 2006, wow I can't believe it was exactly five years ago! The time goes very fast! So yeah it's exciting and I have a lot of good memories of it.
Well, my match was moved from yesterday to today due to the rain delay, and I played first on at 12 against Lesia Tsurenko. It wasn't easy, but I'm happy I pulled it through at the end, 64 76. There was a bit of wind out there as well. It's never easy to start any tournament, but here especially, as grass is a special surface and it was my second official match on grass, so it took some time to get used to it, personally.
I had a chat with JJ (Jankovic) in the locker room before our matches about where we would like to go for some time off after Wimbledon. It was not a very good idea to speak about it before the match (very relaxing conversation to be honest!) As soon as we finished chatting, I ran out of the locker room to warm up - it took me away from some perfect, warm, fun places back to London and preparing myself for the match! Haha.
Also, fashion designer David Koma, who created the dress for me for the Pre-Wimbledon Party, came to cheer for me at my match today! I was happy to see him in my team out there. After, we had a nice chat and some laughs at lunch.
Ohh and of course, there was a lot of girly/fun chat in the locker room while I was with the physio between me, Aga Radwanska and Li Na. It was lots of laughs, really! It was about shopping, make-up and nails, nails, nails, nails! Aga and I are both crazy about nails!
Soooooo, you guys were trying to guess on Twitter and my Facebook page what my color is this time for Wimbledon, finally now I'm allowed to tell you. IT IS... Wimbledon colors (green and purple!) All prepared! ;) (picture above)
Im playing fourth match on Court 14 against Petrova tomorrow, but no doubles with my partner JJ...
Speak later, goodnight!
