So I decided to write a summary about Ghana and probably will do it for every country I visit. I'm sitting at the reception of some hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia which my...

What a rip-off, but at least we are not allowed to sit. If we had organized the ITF like this, we would have had to start the quarter-finals two weeks ago.

With the Sleep Elixir, sleeping was possible 😁😴
