Madrid - 1 of my favorite tournament :)
Hi everyone!
Missed writing to you!
Clay court season is on and I'm really enjoying it so far! I like playing on clay, although I grew up on hard courts!
I'm writing from Madrid, it's 1 of my favorite tournaments and every year I like it even more because it's improving in every part, so it's great! Such lovely fans here!!! Was nice to see a little girl wearing a t-shirt with my picture on! I have experienced playing on a blue clay court today, it was fun and really cool bright blue color, so it makes it special!
I'm here with my coach from the academy in Barcelona and my mum! Unfortunately, my dad has to stay in Moscow to do some things! And my coach can't travel with me too much too!
It's great my mum made it to Barcelona just 2 days prior my departure to Madrid, so we could spend some time there and celebrate our Easter. This holiday means a lot to us in our family, and to all Russians as well! She baked "Paskha" for me, that's how we call a special Easter cake! And of'course painted eggs!
Oh, I had some problems with my shoulder in the Fed Cup tie against Italy and in Stuttgart against Vera. I had to call physio on court, but as soon as I finished in Stuttgart, I went back to Barcelona and had a lot of treatments, so now it's much better!!! Thanks to my physio and doctors! I just need to take care of it! Also thanks to the fans in Stuttgart, during the official ceremony I walked with a little girl having my picture on her t-shirt and group of kids came with the the flag and same t-shirts and were cheering for me during my matches there! Always nice to have extra support!
I'm happy we made it to the finals of Fed Cup, it's the 1st final with the team for me!!! It's very special for me!:) And always great to play at home!:)
The day I arrived in Moscow for the Fed Cup, went straight from the airport to make a photo shoot with a professional photographer they had invited from NY, it was really cool and funky! Loved the clothes and everything about it. It was for new Russia Tennis Style Magazine! Will post the photos for you as soon as I can!
So I passed my 1st round here in Madrid, beating Jie Zheng 60 61, was good, solid match! Playing against Bartoli next round!
Will write you later!
