As you probably know I am injured at the moment with my shoulder, so I am at home doing rehab. I have had this injury on and off for four years. This time it got really bad and I just couldnt and didnt want to play anymore matches with pain. It took a while to know what it was but I have a great doctor and physio and they are doing an excellent job. I have seen big improvments in the last two weeks. I have looked at this injury different as I have on others before. It's the first time in my career that I am out for this long, but still I am positive and just trying to take out the positives from this injury, whereas before I always got angry at my injuries. I have learned that this attitude doesnt help me get better any quicker.

Hi All,

I’m busy typing this on my flight from Dayton, OH to White Plains, NY. (via Philladelphia) We lost to the Bryans last night. We lost the first set and were 5-1 up in the 2^nd set breaker and it felt as if we lost 6 coin tosses in a row (now that’s unlucky?!?!) to end up losing 13-11 in the 2^nd set breaker. A tie-breaker: Also commonly know as a heart-breaker….

The Bryans, no doubt, were sound asleep and were probably looking forward to playing the semi’s, while I was in my hotel room at midnight trying to plot my next movements across the USA. At 1am I finally decided on a flight and had to go through 3 different websites because they didn’t like the billing address I was using. After that it was on to a car rental, which was a little easier and then I made preparations for arrival with the tournament in New Haven. (Hotel booking, airport pickup etc) I’m arriving Sat afternoon in White Plains and on Sun I’m off to JFK to pick up my wife and daughter (and friend) and then hopefully will make the quick trip back to New Haven, CT.

So....this morning I went to breakfast (at the Marriott in Cincinnati) and I had a quick squizz around to see what they had. All the lids were down and so I noticed this sign for sausages and another for bacon with a little stick-figure man on both (looking as healthy as a stick-figure man can) and the words “FIT carb-conscious” along side our Usain-Bolt-wannabe stick figure. I was suddenly highly impressed with the Marriott and their concern for their guests’ health and so I decided to lift the lids to see this super-duper healthy, low carb….and “FIT” sausage and bacon. However, as I began to lift the lids I wondered why they would put that sign with sausage and bacon? Presumably there would be no carbohydrates in bacon, as it is just protein and fat and the sausages probably have only a very small amount of carbohydrate in them. So for me that was stating the obvious BUT I was still wondering about Stick Man and the word “FIT”. (Yes, I did actually think that all while I was lifting the lids – EFA’s 3, 6 and 9 - $9.99 from WalMart)

Well, to start off, I’d like to apologise to all those avid “Wesley Moodie” blog readers who were eagerly awaiting my next blogging sensation from Wimbledon 2009, only to be let down by a non-appearance. That was due to a combination of writers block, renovations, a semi-final appearance in the doubles, a full house and last but not least, my forever-full-of-energy two year old daughter, Danica.

Well, to touch on Wimbledon….poor Roddick. I’m sure Coach Larry Stefanki did not foresee the importance of practicing Roddicks’ high backhand volley to the open court much. Probably an extra ten high backhand volleys in practice could have won him an extra point in the 2nd set tie-break and given him a two sets to love lead and a very probable Wimbledon victory. Not surprising that Roddick pulled out of Davis Cup and other tournaments. These injuries seem to flare up at the most inconvenient times. (I would have done the same though….) Rogers 15th could be considered a lucky one!
