The reason I came so late is because I was competing on that same Monday at the tournament in Monterrey, where I beat Daniel Garza in the final. After the final I took the evening flight from Monterrey to Mexico city and got to my hotel room by 9:30 pm.
I have to play my first round on Tuesday against Edgar Lopez from Mexico.
Tuesday:
I came to the club and was ready to play my match when all of a sudden the rain started. The courts are covered but the little holes in the roof created wet spots on the court and made it impossible for the match to start.
The match got rescheduled for Wednesday because the rain wasn't stopping and it was getting pretty late.
That night I was picked up by my host family from the club. I stayed with them last year and I loved it.
Wednesday:
I woke up with the pain in my groin. I got it injured during the final when running for the drop shot.
I took some medicine to keep the pain down. I didn't feel the pain in the first set but it slowly came back in the second set and I didn't want to push it anymore. On top of it, my opponent was playing very good tennis even though I have never seen or heard of him before.
I retired in the second set when I started to feel a lot of pain.
Now I'm taking a few days off from tennis and start mental preparation for Davis Cup in Belarus.
