The new website is online since few days, really better than the one of last year.

Many french guys should come. Llodra said he will come and Clement and Serra should also. The local newspapers deals with the rumours about Santoro and Baghdatis. It shoud be a good tournament.

Was this the one with the fire?

What is Dancevic doing here? Trying to win matches on clay?

Hopefully no fire this year :scared: But Junqueira comes back despite that :lol:
The fire it was in Schwank bedroom not Junqueira ;)

Gaudio has his pic in the list on official website http://www.atp-primrosebordeaux.com/joueurs.php. A WC for him ? Santoro has also his pic. So already 2 WC should be given :confused:

Yes, it's confirmed on the website now, WC to Santoro and Gaudio.

Good luck to
Bjorn Phau
Nicholas Mahut
Wayne Odesnik
Michael Llodra
Diego Junqueira
Fabrice Santoro
:angel:

Good luck Diego Junqueira, Agustin Calleri, Sergio Roitman, Horacio Zeballos and Gaston Gaudio :yeah:

In. :)

A french local newspaper http://www.sudouest.com/gironde/sports/autres/article/570073/mil/4444403.html?auth=768f138d&cHash=0c75538b53 annonces as doubles teams Horna-Cuevas/ Santoro-Gicquel/ Clement-Llodra. I assume it can change but as the single field the double field will be high for a challenger with at least 5 former GS winners in that speciality.

Cuevas/Horna surely prepare RG

Edit : I just saw Horna is out of single field so i assume he won't come

yes, Horna is out, Volandri gets a direct acceptance.

when are the draws out?

Qualifying draw might be made today, 9:00PM local time.

Bordeaux and Zagreb will have livescores at ATP website, but I don't know if they will have for qualies.

Entry List

OUT: Calleri, Dancevic, Darcis, Greul, Hernych, Horna, Mannarino, Phau, Vliegen (and Ouahab, Hocevar, Marrero from alternates)
IN: Volandri, Rosol, Ouanna, Montcourt, Bohli, Recouderc, Tenconi, Sidorenko, Roger-Vasselin

Qualifying draw might be made today, 9:00PM local time.
And the Main Draw will be made on sunday at 11.00 am local time.
Le tirage au sort du tableau final aura lieu à l'entrée du Village VIP, dimanche 10 mai, à partir de 11h.
Il se fera en présence de Fabrice Santoro, Michaël Llodra, Arnaud Clément, Gaston Gaudio (vainqueur Roland Garros 2004) et des Girondins de Bordeaux.

Very good Wild Cards!

More Alts, please?

More Alts, please?

Next: Hrbaty, Anderson, Kukushkin, Lopez-Jaen, Schukin, Kubot, Sweeting, Luczak, Pashanski.

I guess Kubot can ask for a SE, while Schukin I'm not sure since the Challenger he is playing this week is a 50K and Bordeaux is a 100K+H (I've seen before a player getting a SE by playing a smaller event, but also there is some kind of limit)

Hrbaty, Lopez-Jaen and Schukin are IN the MD in Zagreb, so they won't play here. Hrbaty was going to get a WC, but now he won't need it.

they are alternates in several tournaments, in these last hours before deadline things change a lot :p

Montcourt over Llodra 6/0 3/6 7/6(10)
I think he saved 3MP

I counted 5 MP!
Llodra was up 6-4 in the tiebreak and then he had 3 other MP.

I trust you more than me. I was not totally focused on the scoreboard :)

I was watching the livestream and being very focused, as you can imagine.

Weather forecast is afwul for Bordeaux these days, there is light rain shower at the moment,
so I was wondering if there is a possibility that todays matches could be played indoors ?
That should definitely suit for Santoro in his match vs Gaudio...

it's not rainning, 1/0 Gaudio

scores stuck, whats the problem now ? Rain ?

WTF, please don't tell me someone retired in center court match...

Santoro 6/4. I called.

Santoro 6/4. I called.

hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr now they took it again from the scoreboard ,what happen there ??????????????????

Maybe they are playing indoors afterall, who knows... :confused:

Now Santoro-Gaudio gone at Bwin and Pashanski-Hocevar on...

renaud do you know what happen with the bwin site ? why for the second time they took off theis match ?

They are playing outdoor, that's 100% sure we could check it when the livestream was working. :)
There was a livestream available ???
So they are surely playing outdoors today ?

renaud do you know what happen with the bwin site ? why for the second time they took off theis match ?

Santoro 6/4 4/4* 30/30 on Gaudio's serve

Awful conditions, a lot of wind and i think there is a light rain. It must help Santoro.

Gaudio *6-6

The Cat saved a match point.

Gaudio 7-6

Bring on the 3rd set.

Gaudio *1-0

Good hold Gaston, break him again, very tough conditions.

Gaudio 2-0*

Gaudio saved a MP ?
I was following TB until Gaudio wasted 2 SP,
I stopped at 6-6 in TB cause I didn't want to waste my nerves... How it went after 6-6 ?

Vamos Gato, double break, keep it up.

Gaudio *3-0

Gaudio saved a MP ?
I was following TB until Gaudio wasted 2 SP,

The livestream is working again, though not sure for how long.

Gaudio 4-0*

Santoro on the board.

Gaudio *4-1

Santoro lead 7-6, then Gaston won the next 3 points.
OMG santoro had MP at *7-6 on HIS serve ???

unbeliavable

its funny ,the gaudio match will finish after 3 sets and the second match will finish maybe after 2 sets but take more time .so it will be great if odesnik will win the second set so gaudio opponent later in the day will be very very tired !!

Quality serving there by Gaudio.

Gaudio *5-1

this 3 sets its tooking only 20 minutes or something like that .

Gaudio to serve for the match.

Odesnik wins usually on US soil mate :p As far as I know they are not in US right now :wavey:

mp Gaudio

GSM Gaudio 4-6 7-6 6-2

Odesnik wins usually on US soil mate :p As far as I know they are not in US right now :wavey:

Yeah, I forgot about that challenger he won in Europe on clay and the 3rd round of RG.

yeah gaudiooooooooooooooooo won !!!

mincheff i really dont care who will win in the other match ,but it will be great if this match will be finish after 3 sets .they are playing in the second set and now its almoust 2 hours of play .

An impressive Golubev leads Ouanna 6/3 5/3

Gaudio :worship:

Recourdec d. Odesnik 7-6(4) 7-5

Clement vs. Montcourt 1*-1 in progress

Clement vs. Montcourt 2*-2 in progress

breaks in third and fourth games :p

Montcourt vs. Clement 4*-2

Montcourt saved a break point in 6th game

Montcourt vs. Clement 6-3 2*-0 in progress

Gaudio + Flo = easy $$ :D (ok, anything but easy, glad it finished the way it did though :lol: )

edit - as for Odesnik, difficult to not agree that his biggest successes are on American soil, however he isn't really clueless on European clay. He won Milan Challenger in 2006 although we must admit he beat some horrible mugs on the way (and even Anderson lately made San Remo final beating more respectable players :tape: ) and played Karlsruhe Challenger final (beating better players - Muller, Reister, Lacko, Berrer, l. to Zverev). In Reggio Emilia 2007 he made the semi beating Ouahab, Brzezicki and Cuevas, l. to Mantilla (the best beaten players here) and then he made that famous 3R at Roland Garros. His other appearances in Europe however were poor and he also lost to several no-names.

3mps Record*

GSM Recouderc 2-6 6-4 6-4

You say that all the time Ivan.

I Beg Your Pardon!

Lol

I Beg Your Pardon!

Lol

A player has a good week, then they are the real deal or the one to watch, at least your call about Simon making the top 10 was quality.

Yeah but Schukin lost :(

Schukin - Golubev would be interesting semi . . .
Yeah that's what I meant, but my dad Renaud wants me to get married with Golubev so he forgets that old trash Schukin ;)

I hope this ballbashing kiddo can win the event although it's incredibly in doubt.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME GEORGE?

I watched laurent muller the field in morroco earlier this year man, ripped ventura a new one in the final.

he is good, its not only this week trust me.

dont you remember me cluttering the challenger threads during the morroco swing, i watched him.

soild baseliner, looks consistent and has good mental strength for a frenchie

If he was the real deal, he'd have made the top 100 by now. Best match Recouderc played was taking Nole to 5 sets in Paris.

He got a WC to Roland Garros. I am not kidding, you do it all the time with the hype.

didnt say he was the real deal, just too look out for him a little.

He can win a match at RG, given the right draw.

Cuevas/Zeballos d. Montcourt/Rouan 6-4 5-7 10-3

in the final super tie break Cuevas and Zeballin played :worship: comparing to boring 2nd set

its shit that gaudio lost but 2 times 3 sets on 1 day is very physical.
