The University of Stirling has been my second home for the last few weeks as I’ve been using it as my base for my pre-season training. The facilities there are first class and I get great support from the Scottish Institute of Sport. On court I do the majority of my work with Euan McGinn, the University tennis coach. I have worked with Euan since I was a junior so he knows what makes me tick!

My focus for the last few weeks has been on getting in good physical condition for the new season. I’ve also been doing some technical work on court. Next week in La Manga we will be playing a lot of practice sets to get match sharp ahead of the new season. Looking forward to it!
