The Child of Tennis - Yukimura

And, I'm off again~ America, I return to you. The US Open ought to be interesting this year. I look forward to seeing you there, Tokugawa.

Liliadent-kun, Akaya, call me if you have any problems while staying there. Those box tickets should last for the whole tournament and for any of the matches, even the ones I'm not playing.

Montreal tournament's over. I won (surprise, surprise). But...I might be late to Cincinatti. My plane has delays. It's almost 11pm. The tournament starts tomorrow. I can't miss Cincinatti, it's an ATP 1000. I have no idea what to do :/ Usually, my tournaments are a little more spread apart....so I can afford to lose some time....but not this one.

It was quite tragic. Over the last eight weeks, a huge amount of weeds built up in my garden and my tomatoes had the nerve to die on me. But thanks to Saeki-kun, I managed to replace them with some lovely begonias, in a shade I haven't seen before.

And does anyone know how to keep birds away from plants without hurting them? Most of the fruits on my strawberry plants were damaged by birds, though the plant itself still survives.

I am on a quest to try and convince Sanada to get one of these, but he is quite stubbornly traditional and refuses to give in, despite me bribing him with ginseng oolong tea.

And also, I got a sponsor request by Nike, so I'll be jetting off to America in a week to take part in a photo shoot and formalise the contract with them. It should be pretty fun. I believe that Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are all sponsored by Nike as well, so I'll be doing a photoshoot with them, most likely.
