Played Mr. D this evening.  He leaves his raquet with me and today I forgot to bring it.  He used one of mine.  The shot his Dr gave him last week has made a huge difference.  He was unstoppable.  If he improves the way he has over the last few months I am in big trouble.  I think I can still beat him now that he is playing better but I will have to eliminate any risks and take more control of the court.

I missed many serves.  I DF’d at least five times.  Three times in one game.  I have to get control over these latest strings or switch back.  It would be hard to give them up after I have seen what they can do. I will work them for the rest of the week and spin everything.  I like the old strings but at 65 lbs these strings like they did on McEnroe’s racquet.

Keep up the good work D.  Your going to make me alot better.  Thanks!
