BNP Paribas Indian Wells - Day 12 : The Silence Before The Storm |

Ok it may seem strange to many of you but it is the silence before a storm!

Today was a very easy and chill day many would think it would be filled with excitement in preparation for the big final!

After being here for 2 weeks it is coming to the end and the end is what you work towards not only during the tournament but during the whole year, you prepare for this moment! It is so quite around the grounds only a few players and guest are still here but the birds and the rabbits around the terrace are being seen in greater numbers

Caroline and I did not see each other after the match yesterday so we had a chance to catch up a little and had a very good chat with her Father Peter about the preparation for the final!

The hit was for about an hour and basically is a way to get the body moving and work on the recovery from a long match yesterday!

Today was about conserving energy and prepare for the final tomorrow!

We ended up having a lunch with the whole team and continue our preparations for the following day!

I want send out a great thank you for reading my post but especially to the team of 10sballs.com who work day and night to bring tennis closer to you!
