Europe in Autumn

[tennis_no_ko]

I forgot how disgusting the weather gets in Europe come autumn. The rain is so muggy, and it creates a pile of red-slush on the streets, since the leaves get trampled in with the rain. It's an awful atmosphere, especially mixed in with the smog and the high winds. It's bad enough in Paris and it's supposed to be worse in England,

It also means that we have to play with the roof over the stadium, which means that your stamina has to be higher and it's generally an unfavourable playing condition. Which makes no sense to me. Why play the final of the tennis year in a place which is known for it's bad weather? Couldn't we have played in Fiji or something?

I'm just complaining, because the start of my match has been delayed for twenty minutes while they shut the roof and my warm-up's starting to fade.

It is much worse to play in the rain, Yukimura-kun. Though I understand your pain and wish you luck in the match. And battling the elements. Take an umbrella with you~

It's not so bad on clay or hard court, but it sucks on grass....And thank you, Fuji-kun. I always do (if only for self-protection. Umbrellas are just as good at rackets in many ways :D)
