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?

I would be open to that trip.

[ever_yanagi]

I will plan a few options.

[gtl_yukimura]

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

Please.

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'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

[ever_yanagi]

I know you’re very much not. But sometimes you push harder than is wise.

[gtl_yukimura]

When have I done that?
