The living record
verified · permanent · growingNot just the highlights. Every filed result, every lesson and every chapter in the attempt to reach the WTA.
The dream
03 / Melbourne ParkWimbledon is in the diary — that ticket above is real. This one is the far one, the tournament that isn't a goal, it's the goal: the Australian Open — blue courts, January heat, the main draw of a WTA Grand Slam. This ticket is already printed. The date field is the only thing left to fill in.
For the record: it is roughly 16,900 km from Bedfordshire to Melbourne Park. She intends to cover it one forehand at a time.
Between her and Melbourne: 16,900 km of this.
She loves the sea best when it's angry — proper waves, crashing loud — and yes, she swims in it. The seal thing suddenly makes a lot of sense.
The set list
04 / Every week, front to backTraining weeks get played like the albums she loves — front to back, no skips. The volume knob on work rate is the same as the one on the amp: it only turns one way.
// no encores needed. the set just starts again on monday.
The venues — where the noise happens
The fuel
05 / Kitchen departmentAn athlete is basically a stomach with a forehand. This one runs on real food, cooked properly — often by her.
House speciality — chef: Naads
The Oatlet
oats + eggs + whey powder,
folded like an omelette that lifts.
greek yoghurt on top.
fruit on the yoghurt.
protein, disguised as pudding.
also flips a genuinely great burger.
bookings not available. family only.
The soundtrack
06 / Warning: loudSome players visualise in silence. She warms up to Metallica and walks on court to Korn, and honestly the opponents can probably hear it through the headphones.
Metallica
Riffs for the stretching, thunder for the mindset. Absolutely loves it — the neighbours have opinions, none of which are rallies' business.
Korn
Detuned seven-strings and that bagpipe-scream low end — the exact frequency of a first serve landing on the T. The changeover chair has never felt so intense.
// warning: actually makes noise
The lens
07 / Off courtWhen the racquets rest, the camera comes out: a Sony A6400 wearing a Helios 44 — a 1970s Soviet lens that swirls the background into a whirlpool. All manual, no filters. See the gallery →
Yonex, obviously
08 / The gearThe actual setup, not marketing: this is what's in the bag this week. When it changes, she updates it from her phone and this page follows.
