Las Vegas and Indian Wells Round-Up |

Las Vegas

It was another great experience to be in Las Vegas. Between visiting the Gym of Gil Reyes and being on court with Gil Reyes.

this year in our preparation before Indian Wells we had 3 players attending Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Laura Robson and Sorana Cirstea.

We also had a chance to get an introduction to the “speedcell” of Adidas and the “MiCoach” Technology. We had great fun shooting a video

going through some great exercises and building up the speed to show and share with tennis fans around the world.

Besides the MiCoach Shoot we also had a visit by CNN international who were there spend some time with the team and interview Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf.

Both Andre and Stef spend a lot of their valuable time with our players and sharing their knowledge and experience.

It was not only work because I also got a chance to visit the famous Las Vegas strip and go to the Show of “O” at Bellagio. the show is absolute magic and whenever

you get a chance to go to Vegas it is a must see.

The drive from Las Vegas to Indian Wells took me about 4.30 hours, I arrived in Indian wells on Sunday evening the 4th of march around Nine pm and so did Mats.

Now going into the Main draw we have had already a lot of court time with many of our players such as Tsonga, Wozniacki, Morita, Cirstea, Pavlyuchenkova and Robson.

unfortunalty Laura lost her 1st round of qualies but we will see her again in Miami.

I am very luck this year because my parents made it to Indian wells for the 1st time. I am really looking forward to share some great experiences here in Indian wells.

They are having guest credentials which gives them access to the players area and are treated like VIP. today we had a chance to walk around the grounds and took in the

official draw at the Corana Plaza.

tomorrow is a big day for both Ayumi Morita and Sorana Cirstea who had great hits today and are well prepared for their matches tomorrow. Looking forward to my 21st year

at the BNP Parisbas Open.

Look for picitures on this file below: there are also 2 pics of me when i just started my carreer 21 years ago with Monica Seles. My Parents walking the walk of fame and getting their credentials.
