Saturday, May 13, 2006
I'm happy to be doing the blog this week. I read Dmitry's and thought it was
great.
This week hopefully I can give you an idea of what a day in the life
of a player is like during Masters Series Hamburg.
I've got to say it was a little stressful getting here. On Friday I decided
to take a late afternoon flight so I could practice in Barcelona during the
day. My flight was scheduled to stopover in Mallorca and then continue to
Hamburg. I arrived at the airport at 5pm and the first flight was fine. Then
in Mallorca I waited for all the people to board before getting on. But as I
walk to the door the girl at the desk tells me that she needs four passengers
to get on a different plane. "We are waiting for some passengers from
Santiago, so this will make this plane leave late," she says. "There's
another plane that will leave sooner and you'll arrive on time in Hamburg."
So myself and three other people rush to a different gate but when we get
there... no plane! It had already left. So we have to go back to the original
gate.
On my way to Hamburg I turn to my instrument of work - my phone. I was
arranging things for practice. I have my physio, Juan Reque, with me in
Hamburg, but I am still without a coach. I sent Juan a text message: Please
arrange practice for me in the morning and in the afternoon we can go
running. I also was surprised to see a text message from
Mahesh Bhupathi, one
of the world's best doubles players:
Hey Tommy, do you want to play doubles
with me in Hamburg? I've lost in the first round of doubles about 10 times in
a row so I wasn't sure if he was drunk. Maybe he just wanted the first-round
prize money. Anyway, I had already arranged to play with David Ferrer so I
had to say no.
In the end we arrived 90 minutes late into Hamburg and then I had to wait
another 30 minutes for my racquet bag to show up - they made me send it with
the checked luggage. Thankfully my courtesy car driver was still waiting for
me at the airport. We had to walk a little way to the garage where the car
was parked. We took the elevator to the fifth floor before the driver
realized the car was on the fourth floor. So we went to the fourth floor and
then she said it was actually on the third floor. When we eventually found
the car it was on the second floor.
I got to the hotel around 12.30 am. I unpacked my bag and went straight to
bed.
Today I had breakfast in the hotel with Alberto Martin. When we got to the
site I left one racquet with the stringer to try out in the afternoon to see
if it's the tension I want to play with here this week. I warmed up with Juan
at 10.30 and then practiced with Guillermo Coria. It was just a half hour hit
and we were sharing a court with two other guys who had a match coming up.
Then we played some games. He was leading 5-2 when we stopped. But that's
okay... it was my first day getting used to the courts and the balls. I was
finished by 12.30 and my next practice wasn't until 3, so that gave me time
to have a shower and get something to eat. I had some pasta and then some ice
cream -
I love the sweet things.
Then I played the trivia machine... they ask questions about sports,
geography and art. Then I watched the battle for pole position for Sunday's
Formula 1 race on TV.
I had a practice with Nicolas Kiefer. We just warmed up for five minutes and
then played some games. It was 5-4 with no breaks when we had to stop because
Safin and Gaudio had the court.
Then Juan and I wanted to find a place to go for a run. We found a school
with a running track but there was a fence so it didn't look like we could
get in. But we found a hole so we snuck in and ran on the clay track for half
an hour. Then we came back to the club and stretched.
Tonight I will have a massage and on Sunday I will practice with Juan Carlos.
I'm told that I play Monday against Jiri Novak so I will take it pretty easy
Sunday. I have played Jiri three times and have never beaten him. I told him
that before he retires I want to beat him once. He's been injured for six
months but he played in Rome last week. So maybe this is the best chance I've
had yet to get a win. We'll see.
It's an amazing feeling to have made the Top 10. You always set goals during
your career. Early on it was to make the Top 100, which I did at 18, then I
wanted to win a title, which I did in Sopot in 2001. Then we won the Davis
Cup for Spain. Then the Barcelona Open in 2004. But there are always new
goals and this year one of those goals was to make the Top 10.
But I was very disappointed to lose in the first round in Rome to Rusedski.
It would have been like Greg losing to me on grass in the week that he made
the Top 10.
