Good Morning everyone!

Hope you all have been doing well! Today is a very busy day for me, as I am leaving for Europe at 6 p.m to go train for a week in spain, then head to French Open juniors. I’ve been so excited to get on the red clay and to of course go shopping in Paris. Although I am not looking forward to the 9 and a half hour flight though. I am a terrible flyer. Last year when I went to Germany I literally thought I was going to jump out of the plane after the 5th hour. So it should be really interesting to see how I do this time. I guess being a tennis player I should get used to taking long flights. Well, actually I could just go on a cruise, which would be a better alternative for me at least.

These next couple of months are going to be sooo hectic because after French I have to play Roehampton ITF, Wimbledon, then I play three weeks in a row of pro tournaments. So, besides all that good stuff, things on the pro circuit have been going well too. I’m No. 386 in the world now so I was happy to break top 400. Hopefully I can keep on going!

Anyways, I am actually sitting at a table with some of my closest friends that I grew up playing tennis with. There is a designated going on and I thought I would drive up and see everyone while I can. Luckily, I finished most of my errands yesterday so I don’t have much more to do. It’s a relaxing day today.

Well amigos, I’m going to head out for now. I’m so tired and have a very long day ahead of me. Hope you have all been well! Talk to you soon!
