Did a web interview today. Or was that the day before. I don’t remember. It was posted on the wilson facebook page. Also did 2 live TV interviews. Seems I have become the face of the stringing team here. Wilson are doing interviews with all of the stringers here and posting them on facebook.
Easy day today. Fingers are feeling great. Not strapping them anymore.
Did my forst on court rkt today. Had it cut out, strung starightened and stencilled in 16 minutes. Bab Pure Drive one piece box pattern. 2 piece stringing would save me a couple of minutes on the time but we do 1 piece by default.
Early finish. Back to the room around 11. In bed at 12.30. 8.30 start for Sat.
