Good luck to Kiwi :bigclap: !!!! In my opinion, he could reach the semis, but I thought that too when I saw his Indy and LA draw and we all know what happened there.

I hope Kiwi is well, but I somehow have a strange feeling :scared:

Your strange feeling is correct Neely. Nicolas withdrew. He would have played Arnaud Clement but was he was replaced by lucky loser Richard Bloomfield.

I guess he isn't quite over his illness. Let's hope he will be ok for next week.

Maybe he will give an update on his homepage soon. *hint, hint*

The ATP draw sheet lists 'respiratory illness' or something like that as the reason for his withdrawal. Hope he's well enough to head to Montreal in a few days. :hug:

Someone else can start the thread for Montreal, I seem to be bad luck for him right now... I shouldn't even bother going next week the way I'm feeling right now.... :sad:

Mary- I'm sure Nicolas will be there in Montreal. It's an important tournament so I'm sure he will make every effort to make it. By that time, he would have had 2 weeks to recover from his virus. Unless he has a virus similar to Justine Henin (which I seriously doubt) he will play next week.

He is already in Montreal. So even if he doesn't play, he will be there training some what around the grounds. When I was there 2 years ago, they posted the practice schedule at the hotel, so it was easy to pin point the practice times. He normally practices very early.

Don't worry, you will see him. Besides, find Karine on the grounds because she tends to know exactly where Kiwi is, usually at Starbucks :p You could hang out at the player hotel and hope to see him there (if you like to hang out in hotel lobbies-not my cup of tea but if it hinges on you seeing Nicolas for the first time, I say go for it).

Yea I dont know I find it weird to like sit in a lobby waiting for someone... That's too personal for me lol... I did that with *nsync,,,, not anymore :p

But yea I'm just like paranoid lol ... meh. I'll see him :p I doubt I'll have the balls to go up to him if I had the chance though... My friend and I were saying how he could be standing right next to us and we probably wouldn't say anything, but hey -- thats why I'm going with some kids from here on MTF cuz I know they wont let me do that ;)

Hopefully I'll have some good stories for y'all when I get home... You guys know I'm gonna do all I can to get all the Kiwi for you guys I can :p

:hug: Thanks :)

What? You think that I look older cause you saw me in person but I had longer hair,now I look like a poodle! lol But thank you that is very sweet. :wavey:
That might be it. I was surrounded by 'thirtysomething' age people in Indian Wells and I may have just put you into that group. What drama that whole trip was, I may never go to that tournament again.

Why do you want to look like a poodle? Your long hair was just fine on you.

It´s such a shame that Kiwi had to pull out. :sad: Well, now we have Montreal ahead of us and I am sure that Kiwi will play a good tournament there.
