Now the All England is about to start, and my preparations has been very very bad. I have been strugling with injuries and has also been sick the last week. So all in all i´m not at my best at the moment, but hopefully we can play some good matches after all. The first round against India is very tough, they play pretty good, so we will prepare good for the match and do our best under the circumstances. Regards Thomas
Mr. Laybourn, Thank you for posting your thoughts and feelings on the verge of a big tournament. This is wonderful stuff for we who live vicariously through you professionals. Despite your bad luck in preparation, we hope you go for broke and have a good tournament. Best of luck!
yeah, good luck mate. i'll be rooting for you unless you meet malaysian opposition, which is pretty unlikely in the XD event!
All the best Thomas. Sorry to hear things haven't gone well. Life is like that sometimes and we have to recognise that there's not much we can do at the time except be patient and keep trying.
We won today, an i personally are very very happy with the win. We played very well the whole match and my body was good after all my injuries and sickness, so it was so nice to be on court today to "kick ass". Tomorrow is England wich we beat the last couple of times, so i think and hope we will do it again...) Over and out... Thomas
A bit disappointed with our loss today, but we can´t expect more with our preperations with only 2 sets in practice in 5 weeks. We hadn´t the speed we usually have, so it was to much struggle today, and the english pair used our weeknesses and played really good. Back home to train and look forward and improve our fitness and speed... We will be back..)
..maybe you meant: it's his debut in this yr's Swiss Open SS..but then, that applies for everyone else who will be competing..
I see the english pair was applying the tactic that won't let u smash them.. keep playing low ball.. anyway, u had a great game. btw, could u please tell us more about your t-shirt? and the sponsor..etc?
