Somewhere I’d heard, or invented perhaps, that the only pleasures found during a waning moon are misfortunes in disguise.

Since a month, two months ago, you know, I've started hitting the ball well. I'm playing some really good tennis. That really helps. I sort of have to motivate myself to get pumped up. It really helps my game a lot. ↗
