Grade 3 tournament in Spain -Day 4

Hey everybody!!!
I am still here with you in the Equelite Academy.
Today was the perfect weather for tennis. No sun, no wind, just a perfect chance to win the match event though when I got up the first thing that I saw it was drizzling. I wnt to the dinning room and everybody was leaving to warm up before their matches. All the players are looking more serious, everyone wants to be in final and to win.
Ok, when I finished classes, I went to see some matches. First match was Alen Bisevac (AUT) vs Singh Karanuday (IND). The match was pretty exciting.
Oh and today all matches had umpires in each court. But sorry guys, no ballboys. The first points started hard for both players. Big passing, every time the players cheered themselves up: Come on! Singh was talking so much with himself. But one ball changed the whole match. The score was 3/1, I think, for Alen. Singh hit the ball and Alen stopped the game. Out! The player from India was like Out??? The Umpire said that ball was out, too. After this Karanuday lost the game, he could not concentrate on the game, I think, that ball was still on his mind. Another funny moment was that Bisevac had a problem with his contact lenses, lol, after every point he was touching his eye. “Oh, I can't see the ball, hold on, I will fix it, a little to the left, no, no right.” After he ran to the bathroom to change his lenses. Game, set, match Alen Bisevic.
Other matches - the girls were playing. I watched just a little bit where Titta Torro (ESP) was losing 5 1 vs (I think) Zanevska Maryna (UKR). And Titta won this match 7/5. Girls tennis is so unpredictable.
I finished my practice and physical work. I’m really happy that my injury is getting better. Juan Carlos Ferrero has just come back from Barcelona, he was injured but I think he is better now. He was watching some matches of juniors guys. I think at that moment the pro players remember when they started playing, comparing themselves back then with their tennis now. Guillermo Garcia Lopez was also around but he spent his time in the gym.
The junior players were watching how the professional players work on their physique, it's really good for the juniors to learn from them.
In the evening, everybody was sitting in the TV room and talking about today’s matches. What about me, I’m sitting in my room and writing the blog for itftennis.com. On my usual blog Equelite Blog you can find more photos of the tournament.
Ok, guys, love tennis, play tennis and watch tennis.
