Won My First Match in Melbourne
Hey guys, thanks for the tip from one of the comments about using capital letters. I really didn't think it made a difference since I assumed most people could figure out that I just write that way on the computer when I'm writing casually so I can type more quickly. But I guess I'll try to be more formal from now on here on Yardbarker. I won my first match down here in Melbourne against Frank Dancevic. It was a straight set match, but I felt like it was high quality tennis. Especially the third set where Frank had some chances and I had to get out of trouble a few times. Now I play Sebastian De Chaunac of France tonight. He's a player that has a lot of confidence right now and nothing to lose. So it could be dangerous. I will have to play well again. He won 3 matches to qualify here and a five setter in the first round. I remember him from college tennis when he played at Ole Miss. My brother Thomas actually played him while we were both at school there. I think he beat Sebastian so I will have to try to make the Blakes 2-0 against him. I'm still having a great time down here and the atmosphere for my first match was exciting. It was a night match and I've got another night match today. It makes for a day of relaxing before the match and then a great crowd usually at night. So hopefully tonight will be more of the same. Take care guys, and I hope you like the more formal version with correct capitalization and punctuation.

I love your book. You are inspirational. I find hope and inspiration through quotes from you that I have read. Roger Federer and you are my favorite tennis players.I think you get too hard on yourself. Maybe I am wrong. Try not to let losses get to you. If you don't, then I would study other players to know how they are playing at the time, be prepared. Keep telling yourself, you can do it. You have lots of talent. You can win many Opens. I hope to see you play, in person in March at Indian Wells. I will be reading your book again for hope and inspiration. Best wishes for 2010 and beyond. You are a great tennis player, and a wonderful person.
