Hi James! I can't wait to see his Aussie run. He is my favourite player and I can't wait to see him in fulll flight. With a new coach, Blake seems to playing the best he has in his career. Hopefully, he'll break his Slam best apperancxe of an Aussie Open QF and this prepares him well for it. Best of luck! Your huge fan, Jesse.
