Does anyone know him ?
I saw him play in Marseille last week, and even if he lost (but it was vs J.Johansson) I thought he played quite good. So, if you have information about this player...
Maryse
incredible news for you!
You don't have to be necessary gay to appreciate Gilles Simon and/or tennis photos.
Whatever the player, I think jitterbug did great photos
I've already posted all the DC stuff in the DC thread, but I'm not sure people are reading in that thread, so sorry for the duplication:
There was a press conference on Sunday with the whole team before they left for Romania and Forget was pretty nice about Gillou when he was asked about the integration of the 2 newbies: Comment se passe l'intégration des deux petits nouveaux, Gilles Simon et Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ?
Guy Forget : Très, très bien. Ce sont deux garçons discrets et respectueux. J'apprends à les connaître petit à petit même si je les suis depuis quelques temps déjà. Ils s'intègrent très vite car tous les joueurs se connaissaient déjà bien, ils se côtoient toute l'année sur le circuit. J'ai notamment passé deux entraînements avec Gilles et on sent qu'il a du plaisir à être là avec nous. Leur présence nous apporte un grand bol d'air frais dont avait peut-être besoin l'équipe de France pour se sortir de la routine. Cela permet de rappeler aux anciens ce que la Coupe Davis représente.
Everything is fine since they're both discreet and respectful. Forget gets to know them little by little, even if he's been watching them for a while now. He practiced twice with Gilles and one can feel he's happy to be there with the other guys. Their presence is like a big breath of fresh air and maybe the French team needed that to avoid falling into a routine. It reminds the others of what the Davis Cup means for a player.
(Gilles complained last year Forget is always following the very same players in training and during the tournaments and doesn't really know the other guys, so I think it's important for him to be part of the team, even as an alternate.)
I think he looks different everyday! I can't blame people who don't recognize him, I sometimes don't either in the pics.
I don't think it will be that bad with the defense of his Marseille points, he will stay easily in the top 50, won't he? And he'll have plenty of occasions to improve his ranking again after Marseille, he didn't do very well last year after Marseille, except in Rom. I'm not really worried (yet).
In singles event, world top 48 players (ranking as of 9 June 2008) will get a direct entry. Maximum per country is 4. So I don't think the team is "done" yet.
