Leinster-based player and coach Jenny Claffey writes from Egypt, with insights into life on the tour: “Just completed my first tournament out here in Egypt. I lost in the quarters of the singles and the final of the doubles. I am really disappointed in my singles loss as I was leading the match 6-1, 2-0!! Plenty to learn from that tough experience which is only going to make me a better player… The next tournament starts either tomorrow or Wednesday, I will know the order of... play this evening. Rob Cherry was out here last week and he also played in the men's event. It was great to have more Irish support whilst playing and great to have a tennis coach’s feedback. Jake Nalepa is also here taking care of all the duties whilst on tour! I am very lucky to have such support around me!!”
