Hi everybody,

I am back in London and back writing this blog. First of all I would like to
thank this newspaper for giving me this opportunity to write this blog again
here during WIMBLEDON and thanks to all you readers for following me and
reading what a non writer like me does. I hope I don't make too many mistakes.

I feel great back here in London, or better if I say at Wimbledon. I had a
great week in London after Roland Garros playing at the Artois Championships
at Queen's.I didn't think I could win it when I was travelling on the Eurostar
(without air conditioning by the way) with my parents and a couple of my team.
We went straight from the station to the club to practice and when I first hit
my ball the sensations were different. I did feel better on the next day
playing doubs and the feeling got better and better every day. So great win,
my first title on grass and really looking forward to this year's Wimbledon.

I decided after lifting the trophy to change a bit my plans and went to
Mallorca to rest for 3 days. I only got back here to London yesterday and had
my first practice at Wimbledon yesterday. As I say I was supposed to come back
to London on Monday or Tuesday the latest to start preparing for Wimbledon.

But changed that since I needed 3 days of rest. I have only been at home 8 days
in the last 4 months and that's also "thanks" to the fact that I lost 1st round
in Rome. Otherwise it would have been only 4 days... Tough. So I needed those 3
days at home, playing golf, being with my family and friends and forgetting
a bit about tennis.

I was supposed to play today an exhibition at Hurlingham Club but had to cancel
since I did not feel ready to play and could not cheat to the people there. I
feel I needed to practice a bit more here and so I decided to cancel that
participation.

In any case here we are and l hope you will follow me this Wimbledon.

Thanks. Rafa
