Today, I am back in South Florida to train. I am just going to be training with my coach today, but I will be doing the group during the week. I am going to make sure to do a good warm up and stay very hydrated as I am not used to this heat. During the practice, I will continue working on getting more spacing on my forehand, turning earlier on my backhand, and getting to the ball earlier. My goal is that he shouldn't have to remind me of these things at all today. This is going to be a pretty long practice, so I may get tired. Regardless, I will not complain about the heat or make myself into the victim as that is immature. If I need a break, I can take a break, but when I am on court, I will be professional.
