This is a menu for one of my days, I eat a meal every 2 ½ to 3 hours. As soon as you understand the concept of frequent meal eating and healthy choices you will be able to mix it up and create your own menu.
Everybody is so concerned with playing junior tournaments that it became a joke.You find parents and kids fighting and screaming for a match under 10 or 12 . I never played a tournament under 10 in my life, i really don’t know why there are tournaments for that age. Kids should enjoy the game not hate it , when someone loses a match his parents get so upset as if he lost in roland garros .In my opinion, junior tournaments are nothing but preparation for the important stuff which is men’s and women’s tournaments.
Parents and kids should relax more because here we are so concerned with all those tournaments that we don’t have players to compete in the men’s and women’s circuit. It’s a shame.
I am preparing my self to get in shape for the futures that will be held here in Egypt starting from the 25th of May as well as for the Davis Cup in July.
Really nice tournment, it was tough this year, cut was 152 in maindraw, quali was tough as well.
Lost against Ramos from spain in the second round of quali .
Better luck next time:)
Fitness is one of the most significant aspects of modern tennis; if you’re not fit it becomes really difficult to compete, even if you are very talented. I’ve seen so many talented players wasted because of their lack of fitness that causes frequent injuries, among other consequences. It’s a real shame!
As a professional tennis player, I know how being fit is important for my career and how keeping in good shape, along with practicing on my technique, improves my mental state. The fitter you get the more confident and mentally tough you become!
