After a good build-up in the ATP Challengers leading up to the first round of Wimbledon qualifying, I lost a heartbreaker to Italy's Simone Bolleli 11-9 in the third set. It was disappointing to lose after such a good preparation, but I played quite a good match. Overall, it was a good performance where I was just beaten by a better player.

So now I'm preparing for doubles once again with Rob Lindstedt. We take on the team of Guillermo Duran and Andres Molteni on either Wednesday or Thursday.

It's always so nice being back at Wimbledon. In my opinion, the grounds are the most immaculate of all the Grand Slams and there is a different feeling here you don't find anywhere else.

After Wimbledon it will be back to the United States. I'm working on a schedule with my coach, Billy, but that is forever changing as rankings move and different tournament options become available. I'll make sure everyone knows my plans but for now, fingers crossed for a big couple of weeks in doubles!
