| | Below is the running blog that I have been "scribbling" on my phone while either on a flight, waiting at the gate or riding on the bus to the courts...
Also, I will try to hook up my Twitter (http://twitter.com/AmerDelic) to my blog so I can keep it updated on-the-go.

As I am writing this, I am 30,000+ ft in the air, flying over continental USA on my first leg of the trip to Europe; Greece to be more exact.
Tour de Europe will consist of few stops including Germany, Croatia, France, Czech Republic, back to Germany then finally London. It will be a long continuous trip, but I will try to find some time in between to visit my family that's still in Bosnia. I haven't been back in couple years, so I am really looking forward to it.
First stop is Greece where I have never been before, but have heard only great things about it. Rhodes is the host city of the Challenger tournament, which is also known for it's tourist attractions. Hopefully I will have some time to visit some of those.
Until next time...

Rhodos, Greece
I arrived safely to Rhodes couple days ago and have been getting acclimated to the 45mph wind gusts along with the rest of the players. It could be one of the windiest places I have played at with a combination of heavy balls and super slick courts. Probably one of the worst combos known for most of the players.

Today is the first day of the main draw tournament. There are 6 singles matches on the schedule today including Brendan (Evans) and myself.
Another windy day, but by now, I have given up hope on having a calm day out here... Maybe some other Greek island, but definitely not this one.
Obviously, there could be worst things in life, including the mess that's brewing up with a "swine flu" back in Central and now North America also. That's what happens when for decades there hasn't been much food regulation. Now there is a panic....
Wind did calm down a bit and I was able to win my match. Joachim is a very tough opponent because his serve is still top 5 in the world even if he has been injured for a while.
I got lucky on few points and was able to squeeze out a win.
Now I am awaiting a winner of Dudi Sela and a local wild card.
Vacation continues...
