Starting to feel that there's a big event happening at the weekend, more life about the venue today.

Just introduced myself briefly to each team member this morning at breakfast , only Hev remembered me from previous encounters. Judmoo was friendly as well. Spoke quite a bit later to Leon who I think was on the same flight as Indiana .

Are any other personal family/personal coaches with the players or just the Fed Cup/ LTA coaches and other bods ?

I have to say Bally looked sharper today, not much to choose between her and Anne in practice sessions.The 2 young guns not far behind.

Great the you can talk to the team.

I have been updating my twitter account quite a bit today @philwrig. Thanks to Steven I have seen a sudden surge in followers.
Great practice by all the girls today, Anne looking especially good. Hev's forehand looks improved to me, something I believe she has been working on. Been impressed with Laura's work ethic this week, and she was impressive in her last session when she was timing the ball so sweetly.
Have developed a particularly sore posterior after sitting on a hard bench for most of the week. On that note byebye.

Yes it's great, obviously some are more receptive than others.

Oh and if you want to see an ugly mug, there should be a lta video out over the weekend focussing on the supporters who have made the trip.

Some a bit 'stand offish' ? wink

You are going to have to take a cushion in or a coat to sit on or something or your week will seem more like a penance than a British tennis fan's treat.
