I am so exhausted. I think the outcome would have been a bit different had I not gone to 5 sets with Tezuka in the semifinal, but I can't be too hard on myself. Losing to Nadal at the French Open in my first tournament since last season is pretty good. I held my own, so no complaints. Plus, it's a huge smack in the face to those who didn't think I could come back. If Serena can do it, so can I.

Our flight home is tomorrow? I can't remember for sure, but it will be nice to go home for a small stretch before flying out to London in a couple of weeks. I thought about just staying here then heading to London, but decided going home would be better.

Why do people have such bad timing when discussing not-so-good things? It's stupid and completely unhelpful. Obviously, you shouldn't talk about bad news when someone is in a good mood, but at least give the other person some time to breathe before having a serious discussion.

You did very well, Seiichi. This was the best possible outcome.

Spa day?

Otsukare.

Because people suck.

I would be open to that trip.

Tezuka is never the opponent you want to face if you have no time to recover after it. But I think you put in an exceptional performance at the Open. You should feel proud of it.

I'm very good at throttling people if you require it.

Congratulations. As far as dramatic returns go it would've been hard to pull off in a more spectacular fashion than you did.

It was interesting meeting you in an off-court setting as well. Perhaps we can get coffee again when we're both at the same tournament.

Really? No way for me to win at all? That's disappointing.

Please.

Thanks.

Pretty much the same conclusion I came to.

I had a day and a half. It would have been enough if it had been 3 or 4 sets. Thank you for being there in person. It meant a lot.

No throttling required.

Winning would have been the most spectacular and dramatic fashion. :)

Gladly. Are you going to Wimbledon? Shiraishi and I will be going to Alnwick Garden a few days before the tournament starts if you'd like to come.

Some people are super KY, Yukimura-san. ~~Most of them are your friends, but~~ Everything good?

You played great, and you played the best in the world on that stage. It was a good loss.

Most people aren't stupid enough to break up with someone after losing at the French Open. Other than losing to Nadal and losing my boyfriend, I'm good.

Thanks. :)

Congratulations, Yukimura-kun~! I know I've told you this but it still was an amazing match to watch.

It's good that you're coming back. :b would be too long of an absence.

Oh? Some people are very considerate.

Thank you. :) I plan on watching the match on the way home.

Another month away probably wouldn't be the best.

Not an unexpected thing, but still annoying. ~~Adrian and I aren't dating anymore.~~

(ooc: strikes screened)

At least now you have someone to set your sights on beating if you're into that sort of rivalry.

I won't be at Wimbledon this year, unfortunately. Moral objections to their clothing rules aside, I do actually need to attend school periodically. Plus, I need to find myself a new coach, now that my old one and I have formally parted ways. I'm sure we'll attend the same tournament sooner or later.

I have a better rival than Nadal.

That is unfortunate. I stand by what I said about how good you look in white. Is there anyway you can do some of your work abroad? I'm in drawing/art history classes this term, so I've had the ability to use my "work trip" as class credit since I went to a number of museums and have filled about a sketchbook and a half.

I expect to see you at Rakuten, if not the US Open.

Honestly, my calculations pointed towards a finish in the quarterfinals. You did well. You've just come back, Seiichi, you want to make your career last and not go out in a blaze of glory.

I will plan a few options.

I'm very glad you didn't tell me that during the tournament. No worries about going down in a blaze of glory. I'm not Tezuka

It was exciting to watch you play a tournament in person again.

It's an open offer.

Go throttle one of your straw dummies. There will be no throttling of my ex.

You don't throttle straw dummies, Seiichi. You slice them.

And while I'm glad I don't need to throttle him, I do think he needs a smack upside the back of his head. He seems to be an idiot at dating.

Slice. Throttle. Whichever.

You can't be too mad. Would you want to date someone who lives on the other side of the world and travels all the time?

Ugh. Seriously? I'm sorry, Yukimura-san. He's missing out on something special.

I heard sleep is also a nice thing to watch.

I don't think so~

~~Oh....Long distance is a hard thing..I'm sorry.~~

You played so amazingly well. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Seriously, you should be super proud of that. ♡ ～('▽^人) Hopefully you have a good flight and can rest much better than Kite did (though I'm happy to save an energy drink for you, too!)~

Normally I don't agree with Hikaru so easily on stuff like this, but... yeah, 'cause people suck.
