Villach Observe Day 1 | CarolynNichols.com
The drawings are right here.
Tuesday was one other apply day. It was very moist. I used to be going to apply with MJ however the courts had been moist, which turned out to be superb, since he needed to return to Canada as his mom was very ailing. 🙏
I practiced throughout the day with Marcus, somebody MJ and Rudy met at dinner at their resort, as I did Sunday evening. He’s a former ATP participant and we had an awesome music. Then I went to Villach to discover a coaching floor for myself and my doubles group this week, Shirley Friedl from Austria, and Bruno and Martin, who all got here down from flooded Vienna yesterday. They had been speculated to take the practice however the floods disrupted all the pieces.
We hit effectively and I lastly acquired my racquet strapped proper…it solely took three tries because the machine at Feld am See was damaged. So it is an costly retrofit job: 2 x labor and 3x rope. The rope was a couple of euros cheaper.
The membership right here has 10 outside and 5 indoor courts, indoor clay and two indoor carpets, locker rooms and a big eating space. It’s truly in Warmbad Villach, outdoors the town heart. I am solely 4 minutes away by automobile which is nice (however a motorbike can be even higher!). I drive on a small 2 lane street previous fields and horses.
Shirley and I apply for about an hour, then I am going to go see the citadel after lunch and train…and I will be enjoying within the event tomorrow. The event was supposed to begin on Monday, it delayed the begin to Tuesday and delayed our division for some motive till Wednesday.
