Holidays
Today is the last day of the autumn holidays.
I trained a lot these days and tomorrow is the first day of school.
I’ll have 2 extra days off from school, because i don’t have any SE’s those days.
And tomorrow is also my restday from tennis.
It's getting cold
Today I had a tough training in 10 degrees centigrade.
It was not what I’m used to, so it was tough adjusting to the climate.
But it was a great training, I learned a few things today so I’m happy.
Training
Today I went training indoors, because it was raining to hard.
It was a good training as we did some speed exercises.
I’m beginning to reach a high level in speed so I’m happy.
Tomorrow is another hard training.
Barcelona
Las week I was in Barcelona on a school trip.
It was a lot of fun as I got to get to know my classmates.
We traveled there by bus, which was 20 hours from Den Haag.
We saw all the popular attractions like Camp Nou and La Sagrada Familia.
Ofcourse we ate Tapas all day and paella.

Today was the start of the Double up tournament.
As it says in the name it is a doubles tournament, my partner will be George Samander who is going to be my doubles partner in El Salvador.
This tournament is a perfect way to practise our doulbes game before the Daviscup.
We’re going to take full use of this opportunity.

Rainy days
My coach from Sto Domingo left last Thursday to go back to Sto Domingo.
It was a good training, now I have to make a new program for myself.
There aren’t a lot of tests these days, because the testweek is nearing, so I have to start studying for that.
I discovered a new hobby!
Writing sonnets, it started in Dutch class when we had to make a sonnet in Dutch, I didn’t really want to...
Busy days
These days are very busy for me, because I have training from 2 till 6.
And in the evening I do my homework and school stuff.
But I like it this way.
The training is good and I’m still getting good grades.
@ informatikalokaal
Today I had to work on a project at school.
It is for a subject called ASW.
I have to make a picture of all sorts of other pictures that represent who I am.
I’m also going to train today.
In the Tommy Hilfiger tournament we withdrawed, because Kevin had to go on businesstravels and we were gonna play the matches before that, but he caught a high fever.
But we did win all our matches...
Rainy Days
Today was a very rainy day.
It was like Curacao was flooded by a tsunami.
All the streets are underwater and I didn’t have school today.
And we just heard that we’re free tomorrow too.

Tennis coach
Today my new coach from Sto Domingo has arrived in Curacao.
He’s going to train with me and another boy for one month.
After that we will see what happens.
The training starts tomorrow.
At school nothing special happened, only it rained a lot today.
Slice Serve
Today I had training.
And in the training I only hit flat en topspin serves, at the end I could do any serve I wanted.
And then I knifed this perfect SLICE serve (which isn’t flat or topspin) wide on the duece court.
I didn’t train this serve the whole day, and my trainer was very surprised about the quality of the serve and asked me how I did that without hitting that serve the...
Weekend
This weekend I didn’t do much till this point.
Maybe I’m going to train this evening, but I’m not sure yet.
Tomorrow is another Monday, which is very boring, but you have to make it fun.
Next week is the next ranking tournament.
It would be held this week but the head of the federation couldn’t orangize it, because he had the virus dengue.
Training
Today was another normal day with school en tennis.
I played with George Samander today at CSC.
At school I got an 7.8 voor M&O and an 8 for Geography and an 7.7 voor Mathematics B.
So I have an 8 for all those subjects.
Yesterday I had a very hard fitness training, so today I took it a little bit more easier.
Curacao Juniors Open
Unfortunately I lost my in the Curacao Juniors Open to the fifth seed Italian Player Gianluigi QUINZI.
I think he’s going to win the tournament, he beat the first seed today.
But today I had a talk with one of the proffesional coaches and if everything goes according to plan I will train with George Samander in November with this coach.
This will take some time, because the coach is going...

Rainy Day
Today was a very rainy day, so I couldn’t play tennis.
I studied and did some power exercises instead.
Monday I have Mathematics and Spanish.
For Spanish I don’t have to study anything, because we will get a tekst.
But for Mathematics I have to study some chapters.
And ofcourse I have to start studying for the other exams later on.
Test week
Today was a rainy day, I couldn’t play today because the court was all wet.
So I studied instead for the testweek which starts Friday.
We begin with Dutch and Economy.
This will be the first time I make an exam of 1hour and 30 minutes long.
So this will be exciting, both exams take that long to make.
Champion
Today I became champion of the 3rd ranking tournament.
I had to play 3 matches today, because play was suspended due to Lightning threats.
But I pulled through and won all my matches.
I’m very happy with this win.
The score of the finals was 6-2 6-4 and I played against George Samander of Curacao.
Ranking
Tomorrow is the first day of the ranking tournament.
It’s going to be held at CSC, my home club.
So I won’t have to adjust to the location.
I’m the nr1 seed in the tournament and I won’t be playing the first day.
So that helps, because I have the party tomorrow.
And this gives me the chance to train one more time before the tournament.
School day
Today is a normal school day like always.
Today we have to buy some stuff for a birthday party tomorrow.
A girl of my old class is gonna be 15 years old tomorrow.
And the real party is going to be on Friday.
I’m going to training today, to train on my match tennis and all those kind of stuff.
Party Boot
Today I went to the Party Boot for the second time with my old class.
It was a lot of fun, we also brought some new classmates along.
I had a tennis training today in the morning, which was very intense.
Tomorrow I have fitness training.
So that’s going to be tough, so I’d better get some rest.
The Cinemas
Today I’m going to the cinemas with some friends to watch a movie.
I don’t know which one yet, but I’m sure it’s gonna be fun.
I also did some exercises today.
Tomorrow I’m going to train again on my tennis.
Hyatt tennis
Yesterday I went to the Hyatt to play tennis with the trainer there.
It was fun and it is definetely different to train on clay.
I think this is a good training to add to my schedule.
And also to fill up the free days that I have from training.
Especially now that the Curacao Open is coming.

Long weekend
This weekend was a long one, because I had Friday off from school because of the elections.
Nobody was able to play tennis this weekend because of injuries so I had nothing to do.
So today I went to the cinemas with a friend to watch Karate Kid.
It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow the school will start again and I will have my first exam which will be M&O.
Exhibition Match
Tomorrow I have an exhibition match at CSC.
I will be playing doubles with Rasid Winklaar vs Michael John Every and someome that is yet to be announced.

Babolat Juniors Doubles Open
Today I won the Babolat Juniors Doubles Open with Laurens Deelstra.
We played against the couple Denzel El Hage from Bonaire and George Samander from Curacao.
The score was 6-2 6-3
This is my first tournament victory in Doubles, I hope it is the first of many.
Fysics
A few days ago I noticed that my fysics subject wasn’t on my timetable.
So I went to the teachers and explained to me that it couldn’t be put in the schedule, because it doesn’t add up to the other timetables of the other students.
So they are working something out for me now, probably I will have to choose between taking fysics next year not chosing fysics at all or study...
Back from El Salvador
Yesterday I came back from El Salvador, there was a little welcomings party waiting for us at the airport.
I finished 19th place from 64 players and I won the doubles consolation with Micheal John Every.
I was also in for a surprise yesterday, because the power fell out and there was no a.c .
But I still went to school today and reunited with all my friends.
My mentor is Mrs Kopra and my class...

I think I played well so I’m happy about that.
The Netherlands
Today I went to a tenniscourt to practise a bit to stay in rythm for the upcoming tournament Jitic.
I was fun as I played on claycourt.

Dushi Boot
Yesterday was the dushi boot party and it was very nice.
My whole class was there and we could enjoy ourselves.

The Finals
Today I played the finals.
Unfortunately I lost the finals 4-6 3-6 against Justin Tjon with two breaks of serve, I wouldn’t say that the match was won but rather lost by me.
Because I feel I made I had the match on my racquet and I took the risk of hitting the ball hard.
But anyway it’s just another tournament.
The day before the Finals
Tomorrow is the finals of the RBTT juniors open. I will be playing against the winner of the match between Georgy Samander and Justin Tjon. So itks going to be exciting, today I also made some of my preperations for the Finals on the practise court. Tomorrow morning I will finish this.
