Hi all,

I am in Kaohsiung, Taiwan with the Davis Cup team preparing to play this Friday.  All the preparations have been good from our boys and we are looking to get through this tie and give ourselves a chance for the 2014 world group.

I will be playing the first match against Yang, a guy who made the Australian Open juniors final a few years ago.  The court is a very quick hard court and their team will be trying to use that to their advantage.

I will be teaming up with my usual partner, Chris Guccione for the doubles on Saturday also.  The guys we are playing actually won a tournament last week so they will have quite a bit of confidence together.

My body is holding up really well at the moment and I am looking forward to four events in the states after this Davis Cup tie.

Speak soon,
Rusty
