That was the longest match I've ever played and I still lost. I'm annoyed, but not as upset with this outcome as I was with the French Open. Journalists can stop saying my endurance is an issue. I'm pretty sure I proved them wrong with this tournament. Three hours average in these conditions is decent.

I met with a boxing instructor yesterday afternoon to get out some frustration. Yanagi is the absolute best for setting it up. I feel a lot better after the session. I might have to make it a regular thing.

We'll be home tomorrow, so you can come around to my place any time on Monday to get souvenirs.

(ooc: if your character wants a souvenir, you can just make up something random that yuki got for you)

So far media, especially back home, has been positive. There are a few potential new endorsements awaiting negotiations when we return.

I can look for a gym. It would definitely improve your core strength.

Probably more positive for Nishikori though. I'll meet with them whenever I need to.

Je t'aime.

In general Japan is doing very well. I've vetted and cleared those ones so the meetings should be productive, at least.

Hopefully you will remember you said this to me when training for Rakuten resumes in earnest.

I suppose I should find my "business appropriate" clothing.

Of course I will.

I've tried out boxing myself. Isn't it great for that? I'd be happy to go again if you wanted someone to come along.

You played great. I've seen nothing but great coverage personally, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you come home.

It looks like Yanagi is going to find a gym. Kickboxing is also tempting. A sparring partner would be nice, if you're up for it.

I try not to read/watch too much of the coverage, but I should gather a few articles to give to my parents.

Sure. I'm game for anything. I've heard great things about kickboxing.

I'm sure that they would enjoy it very much. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they look up stuff themselves. My parents are always finding articles about Toudai's tennis team that I didn't know where floating out there.

Once I know the details, I can let you know.

They likely do, but there are some things that only I can get for them. (*^▽^*)

Lovely. I'll look forward to it.

You do have a point there. I can only imagine that you're frequently published in foreign publications, as well. Perhaps they would enjoy a few of those.

I did get a couple while I was in New York that I thought they would like. My mom likes to see the photos printed.

That's great. Does she frame them?

Scrapbook. Takes up less wall space.

I was going to say, surely she has run out of wall space by now. But I can only imagine the number of scrapbooks she has given the success of your career. :)

Between the art, my tennis career, and my sister's volleyball accomplishments, there's little room left.

It's a good feeling, I'm sure. Your parents must be very proud.

It'll be good to see you again, Seiichi. I have some new flowers I've been eager to show you.

Likewise, Kura. Oh? I can't wait. Will you bring them to the shop? If not, I'll happily come to wherever they are.

Moving them might be a bit risky, so I'd like to invite you for a visit to Basil. I've been able to get some other plants too, now that I'm alone in my room.

Gladly! Just let me know when a good day/time would be.

I'd be available on Wednesday or Thursday, most of the day.

Let's do Wednesday. I have training in the morning, but I can definitely come after.

Sounds like a good plan. I look forward to it.

(ooc: the flowers in question are oleanders)

I was proud of your performance. It was amazing to witness even if the result was not ideal.

I still wish you would take up kendo instead...

Thank you. （・∀・）

I don't have the patience for kendo and you know it.
