Hey Guys,

I just returned from Paris where I was ousted  in the first round by Ernest Gulbis of Latvia.  We had a tough match, and I lost in 4 sets to this hard hitting guy.  I was in Paris just a few days before Roland Garros began because I was in Dusseldorf playing in a team event.  My mom, sister and her friend flew to Paris to watch me play and see the sights.  My sister, Ellen is graduating high school and this was her senior trip.  I took them to a few of my favorite restaurants,  Anna Purna, a really good Indian Restaurant.  We also hit my very favorite place Le Entrecote’; they make just one thing, steak with sauce, fries and salad.  It’s great cuz you don’t have to think about what to order!  Anyway, I also played doubles with David Martin.  We lost a close one 7-5 7-5.  Dave is a great guy and I really like playing dubs with him.  I am home just a few days and then fly to London to get ready  for Wimbledon.  Hopefully I will have some good results on the grass.  I am excited to go to England!
