It's the best news of the month !!! :hearts:

ALLLEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ PAULO !!!!!!!!

cool thats nice that hes back :)

He lost 6/4 6/2... :sad:
But after a long absence, it's normal, we couldn't hope he wins a match against agood player as fast.

Yesterday: "Ca fait bizarre d'etre sur un court apres 8 mois sans competition. C'est ma plus grande satisfaction. Je n'ai plus mal au poignet, simplement la main un peu raide, parce qu'elle est restée longtemps immobilisée".

"It's weird to be on a court after 8 months witohout competition. It's my he doesn't have any pain in his wrist anymore, my hand is just a bit stiff, because it stayed immobilized a long time."

Good to hear!

Yay for Paulo! :) Sphaerena, I agree. So sad that he has been injured for so long, he's shown great promise.

news in his official site:http://paulhenrimathieu.sports.fr/fr/gab_journal.asp

Paulo won his first round match in Segovia Challenger against Jeff Coetzee 6-3/2-1 ret.
In the 2nd round, he'll face J. Rascon a wildcard from Spain
:)

Awwwww....TATI!!! :kiss: Corretja's not so evil twin :lol:

Good luck Paulo!! :banana:

It's a miracle that Coetzee's still playing on the tour after his near fatal accident in S. Africa but which killed his nephew. Used to play singles quite a but before this and so good to see him play.....By the way is Gael Monfils injured? Since this is a french tennis message board maybe one of you can tell me.

Paulo WON
He defeated Rascon 6-0, 7-6(6)
Next round he'll face M. Abel

Paulo is too good to play on Challenger level!!!

Paulo is in the finals. He will play Nico Mahut!! :banana:
