frees thanks for your support and the offer of being a translator. In fact I would like a cheer for Kristof. You know like I use Vamos for the Spanish and South American players. And believe me you really don't need a large number of posters to keep a Forum going all you need are some posters that really will post and support Kristof :D And believe me I will post ;) I promise that :angel: BTW we need the link to where we are asking for the Forum posted in here. OddJob and I had posted about it, but I don't know if the thread was ever found? Go back and read our posts. And I'm no good at posting links :rolleyes: Could you help out here since you were in the thread and know where it is? Thanks ;)

Yes Kris should be able to take down Lucas pretty easily IMO. Lucas hasne't been playing well as of late.

LOL look what I found on sporza.be

Just a quick shower and he's ready for the trip to Paris.

Roland Garros duurt vijf sets voor Kristof Vliegen

ma 29/05/06 - Voor Kristof Vliegen is de eerste ronde meteen het eindstation geworden op Roland Garros. De nummer twee van het Belgische mannentennis verkeek zich op de Tsjech Lukas Dlouhy. Vliegen dwong zeven wedstrijdballen af, maar verloor toch nog.


Op papier was Lukas Dlouhy een haalbare kaart voor Kristof Vliegen. Onze landgenoot is de nummer 36 van de wereld, de Tsjech de nummer 86.

In de vierde set leek de buit binnen voor Vliegen. In het tiende spel dwong Vliegen maar liefst vier matchballen af op de opslag van Dlouhy, maar de Tsjech annuleerde ze allemaal en maakte na een felbevochten game 5-5 gelijk.

Vliegen haalde daarop vlot zijn eigen opslagspel binnen en stond daarna opnieuw drie keer op matchpunt. Toch faalde hij weer. In totaal liet Vliegen in de vierde set elf breakkansen, waaronder zeven matchpunten, liggen.

De taaie Tsjech putte er moed uit, Vliegen zat in zak en as en verloor de tiebreak met 7-5. In de vijfde set liep Dlouhy snel uit tot 3-0 en 4-1. Bij 5-2 kreeg Vliegen drie matchpunten op zijn opslag tegen.

Na 3 uur en 29 minuten was het voorbij voor de Limburger.

(just a quick free translation lol forgive me any mistakes) Roland Garros takes 5 sets for Kristof Vliegen

The first round is straight away the last in Roland Garros. The number 2 of the Belgian tennis couldn't deal with the Czech Lukas Dlouhy. Vliegen had 7 match points, but still lost.
Normally Dlouhy shouldn't be much of a problem for Vliegen. Our fellow countryman is number 36 in the world, and the Czech number 86.
In the 4th set Vliegen seemed to win the match. In the 10th game he had 4 match points on Dlouhy's serve, but the Czech could do away with all of them and after a hard fought game made it 5 games all.
Vliegen won his own serve easily and had then 3 match points again. And still he failed. In total he blew 11 break points (and 7 match points).
The tough Czech pulled through, Vliegen was done for and lost the tiebreak with 7-5. In the 5th set Dlouhy made it 3-0 and 4-1 quickly. Vliegen got 3 match points against him at 5-2 on his own serve. After 3 hours and 29 minutes it was over for the Limburger (?).

Thanks frees for the article and especially for the translation :) However, I'm like OddJob the article makes me feel even worse because it sounds like Kris should have won that Match more than once :eek: And thank you gmgsdoubsprtnr for the pictures :) I'm also glad Kris is letting his hair grow back, but a couple of those pictures really seem to tell the story about how Kris felt about the Match :sad:
I hope it was just a really off day for Kris and that he will be able to not let it effect his confidence for other Tournaments. I guess we will
just have to wait and see :shrug:

Kris lost in dubs today so he's done with RG. On to the grass!
 
#399 ·
Yes grass court season here we come :) I have to admit I'm not a big fan of grass court tennis myself. I guess being from the U.S. makes me more of a hard court fan since that is what just about all of the Tournaments are in the U.S. But I wish Kris well on grass.

Kris won his 1st rnd in Halle!!! Next up will prob be Oli and Krissy doesnt play well against his fellow Belgian. The grass should favor Kris but we'll see.
