Cool Nexty – love the pictures!
Looks like you had a great day yesterday at Doha. How often are you planning on going this week?
Nexty -One more question for you! I saw that you had your picture with Jelena – did you happen to ask her how her ankle was doing?
I know that she’s still in the draw, but I have heard that she may be doubtful for a start tomorrow.
I plan to go one more day…tomorrow actaully…
Jelena is okay.. I didn’t ask her but she was wearing heels and didn’t have anything on it ;)
Report of the day for tommorow…

Thanks Nexty – sounds like she’s doing okay then!
Have a great time tomorrow!
