Come on, everyone has seen your videos. You're damn quick. Don't you have a national ranking?, you should destroy us hacks.

Ahh, well I'm glad Eq mentioned the videos, because now I've scouted out the opposition

This hit is looking like it'll be great...when does the smack-talk start?

Me - I hit for the 8th day out of 9 in a row today, and yeah, there's no doubt ridiculous amounts of hitting is good for one's game!

Well I've played last 2/2 days for a fair while. Massive setback in my serve with elbow pains arising nearly every serve. Could be the racquet, could by my elbow snapping every time I serve...

May be time to hang the Babolat's back up....This is why I hate demoing. You get max. 2 days with a racquet strung completely different and you feel fine with the idea, then you find out 3 months later you can't move your arm.

My pains, alas, are from too much Apparently if I don't stretch more I could well be heading towards a stress fracture in my foot. Damn.

OO.
....who also needs a replacement for the RDX. Hmmm

This is unbelievably cool. I wish I was there.

While I might not be in Melbourne during the AO, there is a strong likelihood that I might be relo-ing there lock-stock-and-barrel by Feb/Mar. Would defly like to hit with you guys then...

Cheers.

You are only pain free because you've never had to try and return my kicker to the backhand

(...and the smack-talk begins now )

Yeah, had another hit today. It's goin' off now. I must have been serving well into the 190's and I accidentally hospitalised my friend. He's in intensive care at the moment.

Ok, now I'm getting nervous...and I didn't hit today (2nd day out of 12 that I haven't hit) because I was at the Medibank.

I need to....hit again!

(as for your friend - you *only* hospitalised him? Pahh )

All this violence, you with the killing, duzza with the hospitalisation... I think I'll be bringing body-armour

As for the string-issues, I have bigger issues on that front between now and Melbourne, thanks to a very, very naughty RDX.

Hmmm, what frame is next I wonder.
