Last month was a pretty busy one, as I flew out to the USA to compete in two tournaments there. First up was the Pensacola Open in Florida where the conditions weren't the greatest, when it finally stopped raining and we were able to play, it was still really windy and its pretty hard to play with a wind across the court!
I wasn't playing my best and lost out in the semi finals of the singles. However, I paired with Lucy Shuker again in doubles and we managed to edge the final 7-6, 7-6 to come away with the win. Having not been at my best all week, I was happy to come away with a trophy!
It was then onto the Cajun Classic tournament in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I won both my singles and doubles semi-final matches.
The singles final was against the World No.4 Sabine Ellerbrock and despite taking it to three sets I lost out 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. I was then facing Sabine again in the doubles final later the same day, this time I was partnering Marjolein Buis and Sabine was playing with Lucy. We lost out on a close match but I hadn't been at my best all the time in the USA so I know what I need to work on when I get home and come back stronger.
