Kalgoorlie

Well Kalgoorlie wasn't good to me it turns out. In the tournament I managed to make it into the main draw by winning two qualifying matches but then I had to play Sasha Jones from New Zealand who is about 250 in the world. I lost to her 3-6 6-4 and didn't play well but didn't play bad either. All week here I felt as though I wasn't playing well. I think I just need to get used to the different type of tennis balls they use as well as the wind. But that is no excuse, all I can do is make it work in the next few tournaments or else this trip will be a bust..and I don't want that. In addition to singles I didn't play doubles either. I was supposed to play with someone who then switch partners (I was not informed of this) the morning sign in closed and by the time I finished my match the deadline for doubles had close so I didn't have time to find anyone. So at the moment I want out of this town. All I'm doing now is practicing and working out. And the town here doesn't have much to offer. We went to go see the "ghost town" they have here and it turns out there isn't even a town to see. There isn't even a slab of wood on the ground to tell it was there. The area just has an information board about the town that once stood there but if that wasn't there you wouldn't have known because it is just a desert full of shrubs now. They have some sort of a downtown but all of the stores close at 6 and nothing is open on Sundays. So this place just reminds me of the old western movies that you see vacant with the tumble weeds blowing across the street. Don't know why on earth would they hold a tennis tournament here...oh well. Only a few more days that I'm out of this place and onto Esperance next!!
