Carlos - Diary After Roland Garros 2006
14/06/2006:

Hello Everyone,


I hope that you've recovered from all the emotions. I don't know about you?
but for Justine, and me this Roland Garros was a little special because not
only were there victories in two sets, saved set points, one or two I believe
- serve was held throughout the matches in the best way.

She won the difficult matches against Myskina, Clijsters, and Kuznetsova by
handling the situation with confidence, composure, and an overall positive
attitude. Justine spent 15 days more relaxed than I've seen her in any other
grand slam. It's a great sign to see Justine show her maturity and
experience.

My work was easier this time since she was was much more receptive and
sensible. It enabled us to improve and to have the opportunity to get a truer
analysis of the matches.

Within the context of the season, this tournament gave her a breath of
confidence. I hope that she'll be able to use it for future tournaments, and
not play with too much pressure on herself. The emphasis is still to play
matches with a priority, and only priority as good health throughout the
season.

If Justine is able to end the season well, she would love to have a chance to
play in the WTA year end championships (the Masters) which will be held in
Europe (Madrid) this year.

I can tell to you that I will make sure she'll be well prepared, and rests
properly during grass season. She wasn't able to do her best last year with
an injury, and unable to participate two years ago. Grass is something she
dreams of conquering. This time Justine is physically fit, and will be able
to give herself a fair chance to shine in Eastbourne and Wimbledon.

With all this good news, I'm also happy to announce that we will be at
Eastbourne and Wimbledon. Please support and give plenty of encouragement to
Justine, so once more she will be in a final at Wimbledon.


Hope you enjoyed my message. We can talk again after the tournaments.


Goodbye and see you soon!


Carlos
