Will Canada be fun for Fab? - Rogers Cup 2006

I guess we have some time to wait until Fab plays again since this Tournament doesn't take place until August. I just thought I would get the thread up ready to go. And Fab should get a good rest now :)

Fab signed autographs for the kids. :)

Well I'm afraid all of you were right. Fab :sad: Maybe he will do well in the Doubles :)

Yes, that's what I was fearing. He had to play Gasquet after a long break. Never good. Good luck for the doubles.

well, fabrice lost to richard...
but i think he will do it better in the doubles!

Fab and Nenad play Lopez/Nadal tomorrow, but I'm confused. I don't know if it is their 1st Round Match or 2nd Round Match :confused:
