New Haven, and Now The USO

Fabrice is playing New Haven. He's scheduled to play Vik 10am today. Good luck to him. :)

I should've known better when I created that thread. Fab lost to Vik 4/6 2/6 in a little more than 1 hour. As he isn't committed in doubles this week, it's bye bye New Haven already. :awww:

Onto the USO which starts on Monday.

Here's the entire draw. The 1st match sounds like a trap for me. :awww:

Fab's 1st match on Court 8 today. Good luck to him. More than likely no coverage for me. ALLEZ FABRICE!!!!!! :bounce:

Well Choupi you certainly know Fab or tennis or both well. When you posted the draw you said the 1st Match looked like a trap to you--well it definitely was! Fab lost in the 1st Round :sad:

He lost in singles and he fought, as he took 1 set to Verdasco. But, to be honest, I wasn't expecting anything. So I'm not too disappointed. He's still in doubles and their 1st match is today. Good luck guys!!

:eek: Oh my god, i can't believe that i saw the end of this match and i didn't even notice whom they were playing! I'd take better look at this guy just for the heck of it. But i was too focused on Fab, couldn't help it! :p

Unfortunately i arrived pretty late that day - night session, and they kept us in the doors for 2 hours even though they were suppose let us in at 4 o'clock. Fab was fabulous, loved the short part of the match that i saw him play. Somehow he was the one with the unbelievable angles, loved it. He and Nathalie seemed to have a good time on the court, i love to see players enjoying what they do, whatever they do. :) I took a few pictures, here (http://www.menstennisforums.com/photos/showgallery.php/cat/794/page/6) they are.

Thanks for that Napki & thanks for the pics. :yeah:

Thanks napki!! The pics are great! :)
