Hi...not sure if he already has a thread here but I couldn't see it. Just wondering if anyone has any info on Olivier? I saw him last year at Roland Garros but didn't pay all that much attention to him, however I saw quite a bit of him at the Aus Open this year and have decided I want to support him more
Vous pouvez me répondre en français aussi si vous voulez...or english...whatever.
:drink: :silly:
Gremelmayr has been absolutely horrendous this year. His ranking has dropped from the 80s to 150. Olivier was on a 7 match losing streak going into this one. Something had to give :lol:
Well, 1 and 3 is more of an impressively bad score than I expected.
Geeze, not sure what's going on lately, must be a combination of terrible form and lacking motivation, as I said before.
I carried this thread for awhile :lol:
Great to see a little more action in this here :clap2:
Anyway, I am excited about the comeback. The first tournament back went decently, I'd say. He hasn't played matches in quite a while and hard is obviously not his surface.
Now the French clay futures, which should be the perfect way for him to build his ranking back up in a hurry. They are mostly 10k+, 15k, and 15k+h and if he can get back to good form quickly he could tear through them.
Also, anyone mind translating those interviews for me?
In short, Olivier draws up his 2009 balance sheet, which is average. He had lost the desire to play and he was tired, he was fed up to the back teeth ! He prefered stay at home and train his swing on greens. Olivier explains this weariness by a lack of tolerance towards himself but also by some personal problems. Now, he's on form and he wants to play, he says he's happy to wake up every morning to go to train. His main objective for this year, is to reach the 200th world place and to play again on the Challenger's circuit. He's entered for two or three Futures and then he'll take stock of his position to know if he continues (on Future's circuit) or not. He's motivated to play but he doesn't want to scour Future's circuit ! Besides, Olivier tells " when people ask me about my ranking, I'm a little bit ashamed " ... But he works to come back to his best standard and he's not ready to retire !
