Rotterdam 2004

yeah. just a few days left. then it´s time for tennis :worship:
will anybody go also?

i'll get a lotto ticket!!!!! lol

lol 2 more years until i'm the legal age to buy one!!

tonight i´ll leave. hope arnaud plays well!!

steph please tell us how it goes!!! :)

have fun steph!!! hope you are good luck for arnaud!

Have a grand time, Steph!

Will you be wearing the now famous Les Bleus Tutu? :p Just kidding of course. I want to wear one in Indian Wells. Heck, if those goofy Netheads can wear basketball nets on their heads, a tutu is certainly a more fashionable statement.

Kisses, all...still pretty busy with work, but trying to get caught up on the boards.

loool michelle
we've started a new trend have we?

Have fun Steph! Nono plays Roger.. :sad:


Bloody hell! How old do you have to be in Aus? Here you can play the lotto at 16!

Michelle - :hug:

think it's about time roger cools off and get upset.... lol

i never knew there's so much age restriction in aus.... when i first came here i was old enough to do practically anything so i never noticed... or may be i was just ignorant, lol....

You have to be 18 to buy a lotto ticket!!

Arnaud is playing Roger?!! ughhhhhh how frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigcry:

Arnaud Clement (FRA)/Tommy Robredo (ESP)- Jarkko Nieminen(FIN)/Andrei Pavel (ROM) 7-6, 6-1

Such a nice couple: Arnaud and Tommy :) I hope they'll play doubles together more frequently :)

lol i woudnt bet on them playing too much together...altho i guess u never know!! maybe its a start to a new rel...umm i mean doubles team!

arnaud will play roger in a late night match on wednesday. with the live scores i think i can follow that one on the web..... like the one between tim and tommy right now.

coocoo you aren't going to 'ahoy' and shoot the tents and stuff ?? ;)

hmmm i've got a laptop class tomorrow morning...maybe i will be able to follow it...really shouldnt coz its a yr 12 class but yes we'll see lol

arnaud's lost the first set 4-6...... i just managed to catch the last point :(

esther what are you doing in a yr 12 class ??? lol..

federer has won 64 63....... :(

judging from the scoring, he had absolutely no trouble with arnaud.... breaking at will and winning all the important points.

on with marseille......

I visited the tournament today :) Saw Arnaud playing soccer :) And I saw the match of Thierry Ascione.

any pics, legolas?? who did arnaud play soccer with.... not tommy robredo, ha...

Did you see the fashion parade Legolas?!! Did you know that Thierry and Arnaud were on the catwalk modelling at rotterdam? LOL how funny. Where was he playing soccer? during practising i'm guessing? Who else did you see?

*sigh* poor Arnaud. Hopefully he wont get such a tough draw next week!!!!!!!!

i couldnt follow the match coz my internet at school is screwing up (via i'm doing 2 year 12 subjects lol) but yeah i guess its not surprising anyway.

what, i lost already ?????

arnaud better sticks to the tennis and leaves the soccer, the catwalk etc......

no. he was great on catwalk *lol*. today he again played soccer. with his coach. and afterwards they played a little bit volleyball and than of course tennis :)
don't know what happend yesterday in his match. he made a lot of faults :( maybe he wanted to win too much. but he is in a good mood todayl. hopefully he can win the doublematch. allez arnaud

any pics, legolas?? who did arnaud play soccer with.... not tommy robredo, ha...
me too via. too bad that thierry lost :(

I didn't see him on the catwalk, that was on tuesday, I was there on wednesday. Yep, he played soccer during practising. Don't know who he was playing with :o. I don't have any pics, I have to wait till Nicole (a friend of me) gives me her pics. But I've a little digital movie of Arnaud. Esther I'll send it to you on msn.

:lol: It was quiet funny, I was watching them playing soccer with three little boys. I did hear those boys talking to each other, and they thought I was the girlfriend of Arnaud :p

he just won his double 76 46 63. so sweet:) now he is in the semis. wohoo

oooooooohhhhh!!!!!! i thought they lost.... damn the official site, they had the scores backwards lol......

But I've a little digital movie of Arnaud. hmmm... i want to see it too :worship: my camera can do a little movie too, but i hadn't had it worked out when arnaud was in sydney :(

arnaud is having too much fun... what a life :rolleyes: (green)

lol no wonder he lost...he is too caught up playing soccer and modelling!!! what a joke...well at least he is having fun!! lol oh arnaud

i cant believe they are in the doubles semis! they are playing second on centre court so it'd be around...4pm their time so...2am our time...aww thats not good but are playing Ram/Erlich :D

yay go them

yeah go arnaud/tommy..... they need to make a few extra bucks to make up for all the fun they've been having (or just him arnaud, no idea about tommy)

did u know tommy speaks a bit of french?

oooooooohhhhh!!!!!! i thought they lost.... damn the official site, they had the scores backwards lol......

hmmm... i want to see it too :worship: my camera can do a little movie too, but i hadn't had it worked out when arnaud was in sydney :(

arnaud is having too much fun... what a life :rolleyes: (green)


I would like to send it to you too. If you want you can pm me your msn or e-mail :)

Jonathan ERLICH (ISR)/Andy RAM (ISR) - Arnaud CLEMENT (FRA)/Tommy ROBREDO (SPA) 6-3, 3-6, 6-4

oh well....

ok legolas i will pm you now !!!! thx

oh well
semis is good enough...Arnauds off to Marseille now! He better train properly there and not lose first round or i will be mad!

hopefully Arnaud will have a better draw in Marseille ;) You can't be mad at him when he is defeated by the number one of the world.

no. and at least it was a tough match :) roger played really really well

did you see the match, steph?

anything else interesting from last week? :)

yeah. i saw that match. and i saw his double matches together with robredo :). and i also watch the matches of ascione. he´s nice too :) via, think you already heard or read about the fashionshow??? :)

I only saw the match of mascione vs Johansson. :fiery: in the beginning hardly people watching that match, coz of hewitt on center court

yeah. i saw that match. and i saw his double matches together with robredo :). and i also watch the matches of ascione. he´s nice too :) via, think you already heard or read about the fashionshow??? :)

yeah. all of them :) and i also saw the fashion show. thought i told first about it...who else saw it???????????
i made some pics during the show and while some players (also arnaud and thierry) are kicking with the soccers of ajax amsterdam. so sweet. arnaud is really good. but everybody knows i think :)
and autographs...no. think i really have enough *lol*

@legolas. it´s always really nice when you see matches when hardly people are on the court. it´s not that loud than :) so sad that thierry lost to johansson. two weeks before i saw him playing not that good. i hoped a little bit that arnaud would watch the match :rolleyes:

you've pics of the tennis players and the soccers of ajax amsterdam :| Can I see them? Ajax rulez :cool:

you are right steph, it was great to be there without other people. And when Lleyton's match was finished, and all people came to the other matches we had the best places :cool:

yeah. me too. where did you have your seat??
well, the pics are not that good but if you want i could send you some (or just one, have to have a look for some soccers. dont know if they are also on any pics :) ). give me your mailadress and than i look what i can do :)

Sounds like you had a good time, Steph, despite Nono getting knocked out so early in the singles.

Do we get to see the pics? :)

oui oui.........do we? lol

legolas i still don't know what your msn name/email is??

ok. i´ll scan the best ones from the fashionshow :)
the ones from soccer are really dark. i´ll see what i can do :)
and irishface. yes i had a good time. it was not that bad that arnaud lost first round in singles. he played the semis in doubles :) so many days with arnaud *lol*

ok. here the pics :) hope you like them. they are not the best but better than nothing...

LOL

Thanks steph :worship:
What was this fashionshow ?? Can you explane me, I was not here the last week...

its always in rotterdam on tuesday. its a fashionshow where some models show the newest sportswear. and in one or two shows some players are walking over the catwalk. and this time they chose arnaud, thierry and john :) my both faves. so nice :)

yeah. me too. where did you have your seat??
well, the pics are not that good but if you want i could send you some (or just one, have to have a look for some soccers. dont know if they are also on any pics :) ). give me your mailadress and than i look what i can do :)

??? like seb on this pic? on which one???

Euhh steph, ...you need glasses ??? lol

Arnaud looks tres beau in the chemise bleu.

*sigh* less than two weeks and I'll be seeing him in person..... I just hope he can resist the urge to mess with the hair dye before then. I like his hair dark.

sorry. but it wasnt to see at my pc before. strange. now i can see it. dont know what happend...

Lovelt photos, Steph. Thanks for sharing.

no prob :) so the pics are not only for me :)

thanx steph !!!!!!!! it isn't easy to take pics indoors but you've done a good job :) (especially scanning for us, hehe)

what fashion? arnaud seemed to be just wearing his own clothes. his blue shirt looked exactly the one he wore in adelaide, courtesy as always of lacoste, lol

legolas i'll look at your pm now.....

arnaud looked like he's growing his hair.... didnt seem to have touched it since aust... methink a major change is in store..... :devil:

:p

Arrrgh! DON'T DO IT NONO!!!

DONT GET THE GOATEE BACKK MY GOOODDD HAVE YOU LEARNT NOTHINGGGGG *cries*

*sigh*

anyway...lol

Steph- thank you for the photos!! looks like he was having fun!!

Via- lol my thoughts exactly...what fashion?!

Legolas- thanks again for the video ;) :)

hehe. good question. the models are wearing the new clothes but the players wear their own. so you are right. but they split it into pima, asics, adidas, lacoste etc. but thierry isnt wearing lacoste but he was at the same time at the stage. hä??? *lol*
lacoste has so nice clothes. why arnaud and john wear so boring ones???????

Via - I know I have a weird msn name, most people, even my friends, wonder who I am when I add them :p

Esther - you're welcome :) Great that you like the video

Maybe I can go to the fashion show next year :), this year I had no time to go that day :(

this year fashionshows were on monday too. with srichaphan. dont know when richard was on catwalk. think it was also tuesday. you really should go next year :) its fun

I'm bringing a picture of Willie Nelson (horrifying country/folk singer) with me to Indian Wells to show Nono what he looks like with that evil goatee.

Sometimes people just need to be slapped in the face with their own reality.

Good idea. And if you meet Seb, say him keeping his short hair like in Melbourne until RG (at least !), I want to see him as charming as he was in Australia ! :hearts:

I promise you all lots and lots and lots of Seb and Nono pics.

Please note that my zoom lens does NOT operate in the presence of certain players (Hewitt and Roddick.) Otherwise, expect a boatload.

Great idea ;) think ladies day is much better as kids day :p
btw. where were you sitting in the match of Johansson vs. Ascione?

I forgot to post my pics of Ascione :rolleyes: btw. they are not very good

Thanks in advance Michelle.

Arnaud won the first set 7/6.

the second one

Arnaud won the first set 7/6.

:) Are you watching the match?

No, I'm following the score on a website (the official site of the tournament doesn't work..)
http://www.livescore.com/tennis.dll?page=home

hmmm... the official scores work for me

legolas your pics aren't bad! though i am not that interested in the player ;)

i'm looking forward to michelle's pics...

the official site works for me too

lol I'm also not interested in that player :p but I thought: this is a french forum ;) maybe others are intrested. I still have to wait for the pics of Arnaud my friend took

Thanks though, legolas ;)

allez arnaud!

tie break
arnaud 4-1

arnaud won 7-6 7-6 :D

It means i'm going to watch him playing tomorrow at tv ! coooll !!

Oh esther, i'm sure you're in class !! LOL

Arnaud :bounce:
It's not on tv here I guess :(

I don't think so.
(It's on sport+, but it's a fr channel)

marine i wasnt in class!! i had a free, so i was in the library!! ;)

i'm in english class now tho...lol and i just did my oral presentation on Matisse...it went pretty good

neway back to Arnaud...i'm happy he won!! :D
Who does he play next? i hope he plays sometime early so i can follow it tonite...marine you get to see it definately?? ure so lucky tell us about the match after!

apologies to marine and legolas......... my computer crashed just after arnaud's match finished..... you know what i mean... i hope i hadn't left you scratching your head wondering why i had disappeared

Great idea ;) think ladies day is much better as kids day :p
btw. where were you sitting in the match of Johansson vs. Ascione?

uah. kidsday was soooooooooooooo...horrible. so many kids. urgh. i mean i like kids (otherwise i had faild my profession) but that was really really to much.
i was sitting in that match behind ascione :)

oh, and thanks for the pics. i´m interested in :)

apologies to marine and legolas......... my computer crashed just after arnaud's match finished..... you know what i mean... i hope i hadn't left you scratching your head wondering why i had disappeared


It doesn't really matter, coz I had to go offline myself.

uah. kidsday was soooooooooooooo...horrible. so many kids. urgh. i mean i like kids (otherwise i had faild my profession) but that was really really to much.
i was sitting in that match behind ascione :)


That was what I was thinking too. I like kids a lot, but not to have them around all the time. But it was funny to talk with them, they can have great stories. And they asked me all the time which players were on practising courts, coz they didn't recognize them :p

yeah. and every man with a tennisback was asked for an autograph and then "who is it?????????" oah. at every tourney the same :) did they really have great stories? for example???

mmm, one of them was, what I say is a 'real tennis kid', you know they are very typical. They think they are much better as everybody else in the world. And he was telling me what all happned already to him that day. To let me know his visit to the tourny was much better as mine :p

hehe. kids.... they cannot imagine that we also have great tennisdays. pfft.
