hard and come back in a better shape than ever in 2004!

I think it was
one match too many for me this week. I've had a great time
and it's shown me that the work I've put in for the last
couple of months has been paying off. My next tournament is
Linz, I am not sure after that, but there is the possibility
of me starting next year in Australia. I want to do well in
those early tournaments and hopefully be back in the Top 10 by
March."
