You're right, of course! ;) Strivers shouldn't ever be completely satisfied, there's always more to achieve! :D
Strivers and perfectionists! ;)

Strivers and perfectionists! ;)
Strivers and perfectionists = Achievers!!!

Strivers and perfectionists = Achievers!!!
:yeah: My philosophy exactly!

Reiko: Wow! You're amazing! And, those pictures are absolutely outstanding! I'm so grateful for what you've done. And I'd like to ask you a favour: would you please kindly translate those Japanese descriptions attached to the pictures into English? I really like to know what was going on during Gastón's practice, and how they played the game of ball and net. But only if you have time. Thank you very much!

I've never seen Gastón let down his hair. He is such a BEAUTIFUL man!

:inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Wow Reiko, your Barcelona pics are so fantastic and georgeous :inlove:
It´s hard to find words for these pics and it´s so nice that you share them with all of us :hug:

It was so nice to meet you and it will even be in the near future :bounce: :bounce:

Okay, and here we go with more Barcelona pics. They are not Reikos quality, but hope you like them...

And one more...

oh Reiko!

:worship: :worship: ya!!

thanx a zil for the fantastic fotos!....you sure were on the right place in the right time!! ;)

Really hope the GG book gave Gaston a cheer! ;)

Its interesting that Gaston talked to JC's coach, considering they had a good match it must have been something related! Thanx again for everything! :D

oh gosh! I still hadn't finished worshipping Reiko when this new portion of Gaston fotos arrived :lol: they are great Sommarsverige, you caught Gaston smiling on so many!!! :D.....there's a Gaston overdose for me tonight, so I better go before it gets worse ;)

Sommar, they're beautiful pics!!! :worship: Thank you so much for posting them. :hug:
This Barcelona crop has shown us more smiling pics of Gastón than we've seen in a long time. I hope Marcela is making him happy! OR his tennis! ;)

What's with the Diadora shirt with a Mazda inscription? Just a shirt, or has Gastón got a contract with them?

Sommar, they're beautiful pics!!! :worship: Thank you so much for posting them. :hug:

I think it must have been a shirt from a soccer club. Because there was the name TOTTI on the back. I am not that well informed in soccer, but I know Totti is a soccer player...

Thanks for the info, Sommar! :hug:

Here´s a picture where you can see the back of the t-shirt.
As it was quite blurred, I did not scan it before.

Sommar.... :worship: ;) It was worth waiting! :p

OMG, that boy keeps on smiling all the time! How great! :D

Sommar, thanks for the pics.
Love the very last one especially..... Gaston in the late afternoon sun! :angel:
I seem to have missed this nice practice sessions.

Gaston wearing a TOTTI shirts :confused:
Is TOTTI from a team in Rome? If so, Gaston could have confused Barcelona for Rome. ;)

suteh, the descriptions actually do not say much about the situation.
But I will add the English translations and then let you know.

By the way, I forgot to say something very important:
Big thanks to all the people who sent in messages for the Gaston Book. I am quite sure he loved it - if you cheer him in a match he appreciates it for sure; so why not cheering messages? As I wrote before, last year at Bercy I delivered the very first Gaston Book. Gaston, then, skimmed through all the messages in front of me and was apparently very impressed.

I forgot to ask about the "cat song" but will try the question in Hamburg. :rolls:

Here´s a picture where you can see the back of the t-shirt.
As it was quite blurred, I did not scan it before.

Name on the T-shirt? What name? Oops... I was looking elsewhere! ;)

Great pics Reiko and Sommar! Thank a lot!

His smile...oh my... :rolls:

And yes Totti plays for Rome,I believe he is the team capitan.

Great pix, Sommars, thank you! I love that closeup one, capless!

Name on the T-shirt? What name? Oops... I was looking elsewhere! ;)


I looked first at that elsewhere too... :aplot: Aren't we awfull? :lol:

Sommar! Thanks for the pics once again! Yes, an overload of Gaston pictures is coming to my hard drive [hope it doesn't crash again! ;)]

Vale - That t-shirt is from the AC Roma football team, that's why it says "Mazda" on the front and "Totti" on the back. Personally, not my favorite team and definitely not my favorite player, but I admit the tshirt looks nice. I've always liked the color, hehe :p

Thanks for all the delicious pics, all!!!

I looked first at that elsewhere too... :aplot: Aren't we awfull? :lol:

Nah! We're just... admiring the beauty... and we're quite observant! :p :angel:

Name on the T-shirt? What name? Oops... I was looking elsewhere! ;)
Come on RF! Lift your eyes up please! ;)

HELP PLEASE!

Here's a wonderful illustration by a friend of mine nerisen, a Japanese girl. She has been to Monte Carlo and got Gaston's autograph on it.
But I'm a bit confused 'cause it does not look like Gaston's autograph. Or is it only me? Maybe he put a message instead of his autograph. In that case, we would like to know what's written. Could someone help? Thanks.

http://www.geocities.jp/noise_nerisenbei/05monaco/autographs-gato.jpg

Sorry I can't help with that Reiko! I haven't forgotten about the scans I was going to send you- I just don't get on the computer at home much. You're friend did a lovely job with the art!

Sommers- thanks for the pics- they are lovely as well.

Reiko, I can't upload the signature (it says the file is too large) but if you go to:
http://www.uolsinectis.com.ar/comun/multimedia/imagenes/galeria_deportes.php?id=837&m=f&i=4&t=deportes2&p=1
I'm sure you will find a way!
It's Gastón's signature dedicated to UOL, an Argentine media conglomerate.
It says "Para UOL, todo lo mejor, RG 2004" (For UOL, all the best).
Btw, he has an artist's handwriting. :angel:

Thanks Vale! :yeah: Awesome site!
I found some rarely published pictures about Argentine soccer players as well (Batistuta is my favourite):woohoo:
Pity I don't know much Spanish
I compress the pix on that page.Here they are...

Nice pix,thanks guys!

Here´s a picture where you can see the back of the t-shirt.
As it was quite blurred, I did not scan it before.
When I saw Gaston in Buenos Aires, he was wearing the same t-shirt...I think he's a fan of Totti, who is a soccer player of Roma, an Italian team...thanks for the photos! :wavey:

Thanks for your tips re Gaston's autograph/writing. I still don't know what he has put on the illustration - maybe I will ask him in Hamburg.


For suteh and some other folks who might be interested, here is my blog article with Gaston pics from Barcelona, which I posted the other day but now with description in English:

Thanks for the pics so far guys! But the last one isn't from today's match...neither from yesterday's. ;)

Congrats, Gaston!
I was not able to see the final but so happy to see these pics:

Interesting trophy, it looks like it needs some flowers.

What a glorious smile!
http://images.sportsline.com/u/ap/photos/XAF117050112_lower.jpg

Thanks for those pics of joy Reiko! :D And yes, that trophy definitely would deserve some nice flowers in it! Time to reverse the roles. Marcella should offer him some, to congratulate him...well, as a beginning of course! But as always... :devil:

Great, great pics with a great smiling champion ;)

Thanks everyone for posting them :hug:

Thanks for the pics!

That smile is gonna be on my mind for quite a while!!!

Thanks reiko,I saw your site.It was awesome!!!

I guess I'll be sending my Mom some Gaston pix today -- she'll be happy that he won [and also happy for David]! ;)

Reiko, cool site [what I can access in English, that is]. ;)

From La Nación:

Thanks for those pics! What a great win!!

Choupi- I love your new avatar! What a pretty kitty!

WOW, Gato wearing AS Roma's shirt of Francesco Totti, it's awesome :worship: He's one of my fave football players plus a very hot guy ;)
http://img115.echo.cx/img115/4316/francescototti0224oz.jpg

Thanks everybody for posting such happy pics!!! :angel: All the recent photos are among the most joyful I've ever seen of Gastón - one can see this is a good time for him! :D

Thanks for the pics!

That smile is gonna be on my mind for quite a while!!!Mine too!;) Another title for Gaston this year! :p

COOOOOOOOOOOOOL,
I'm a fan of FrancescoTotti and AS Roma too!!
But Totti can't play for 5 matches so i can't see him that much anymore! :sad:

U know he has proved a very fair play so he can't play for 5 matches :devil:
but he is a good player ;)
U could understand I 'm not a Roma fan :angel:

Guys, have you seen this pic before? It's from last year's RG, and there were some from David, Srichaphan, Novak and Roddick among others as well.

where? I want see it.

Thanks，Jazz！ :D never seen that before.
The photographer must have catched the wrong time,look at Gato's eyes！ :confused:

I know what you mean! My cats are my "babies" - they are like family to me - they never turn against me, they are always loyal and loving - and they are they only thing I am sad about when I go away :sad: although I know they are well looked after by my friend who lives here to look after them when I'm away - and feeds them far too much!! So I do not begrudge one penny of food or Vets' bills - they are worth it :hearts:
I do agree, lol. Pets have always been a big part of my life. I mean, I have spent thousands of dollars to keep my cat alive, and it was worth it.

Thanks for the pic, Jazz! Where did you find it? I'd like to see the other ones too ;) I'm a bit jealous though, I love that guitar!

You're right, guys... he looks so happy! It's contagious. I can't help smiling everytime I look at those pictures, and on TV when he won the final of course :D

I like Roma but my fave team is AC Milan, I've been a fan for 11 years ;) Totti is hot but I think Scheva is a very sexy bloke as well :worship:

Thanks Crimson. :)

Hey, we've got a nice new shirt to match the blue socks! :D

Yep! It was a pretty-in-blue Gaston today... :D Only the cap and the shoes weren't blue... ;) You'll see it on your tape.

well he does love blue then...thanks Vale :)

Thanks Vale! Pretty in blue yes.. :angel:

Yeah, very nice shirt!!! Better than the navy one for me, definitely! I think he wore that one for the Copa Argentina last year. I loved it :)

Haha :lol:, this is how he reacted when the match ended, like "Agh, thank God it's OVER!"

Thanks for the photos! Gastón must have been thrilled... Still, I don't like Totti :devil: ;)

Thanks for the photos! Gastón must have been thrilled... Still, I don't like Totti :devil: ;)
Me neither!
The only thing I like about Roma is that Batistuta won the title there!That's why I still have their flag in my room.

Some pictures, especially for my friend Choupi... :D

Thanks Alex! I think it's the intention that counts... :)

I am glad Gaston got to meet his idol :) They both seem to have fun!
He must think the Totti shirt has special qualities: he wore it under his RG shirt in the match against Sánchez!!! ;)

Hi,fini!:bigwave:A big welcome wave

Hi guys :wavey: A while ago I promised that I would post sime photos that I took at one of Gaston's practice sessions in Hamburg last week. Unfortunately I have a very old, non-digital camera, and my photography skills are pretty mimimal :devil: - I take photos mainly as personal "memories" not to be clever, skilful or artistic as you will see :p However - I always keep my word, so here are a couple of pics from last Monday 9th May. If you zoom in on them, I think you will see that Gaston was smiling and looking happy at this particular session.

Thanks Rosie for sharing. I know you always keep your words. No need to say so... ;)

Thanks Rosie for the pics! :hug:! Doesn't matter if they were taken with a regular camera, as long as they show Gastón smiling and having fun playing tennis ;) :D!

Thanx Rosie for great pics!!! :wavey:

Today at La Nacion

http://www.lanacion.com.ar/anexos/imagen/05/395437.JPG

Thanks so much, Rosie! :angel:

Back from Hamburg/Dusseldorf, I was disappointed a bit
'cause pictures I took there did not come out very good.
But instead, I've got a CD full of Gaston pictures taken in
Barcelona by S & S of "Sushi Club (named by Gaston himself ;) )".
They are really sweet to take so many Gaston pictures
and let me post the pics here. :angel: Big thanks to S & S.

The second picture shows the moment the Gaston Book
was delivered to Gaston.
The third one is from one of the fun-sessions.

thanks Reiko I need to see this pics ;) :p

Great pics Reiko! thanks so much- they made my day start out very nicely!

Reiko :worship: Tell the official Sushi Club members that we are very thankfull for their authorization to post their clichés here! :D

:bounce: Go Sushi Club!!! I'm your number 1 fan!!! :lol: :bounce:

Thanx Reiko and Sushi Club!! Cute pics :yippee:

Reiko and S&S of the Sushi Club: THANKS!!! :angel:

You see Ljubicic at the end. He was hitting in the same court as Gaston. Gaston pulled down the bottom of Ljubicic's shirt, which, at first, looked rather short. ;)

Picture 12: Gaston is not crying. He just could not stop laughing..... (During the Dusseldorf doubles match against Czech)

:worship: Reiko :worship: :D

Thanks Reiko. :) OMG, what a smile! :D And Ljubicic with the blue socks, well, that's surprising when you see it for the 1st time! ;) Can someone tell Ivan that there are bigger sizes for the shirts? ;) Not that I don't appreciate the view but... :rolleyes:

Thanks Reiko. :) Can someone tell Ivan that there are bigger sizes for the shirts? ;) Not that I don't appreciate the view but... :rolleyes:

Reiko, thank you again and again for the peautiful pics! :worship:
I thought you said they hadn´t come out well?!!! Watch out, you´re in danger of becoming as self-demanding as Gastón! ;)

Wow Reiko, fantastic pics :worship:
I am already so much looking forward to get mine develloped...

We missed you today at the final ;)

Fantastic pix, Reiko, domo arigato! How did you get them so close? Did you use a big long lens?? Wow! Gasti so cute when he smiles!

[just been watching his SF match vs. Nalby fr RG04... I loved when he cried at the end of that match knowing that he made the final of his fave slam ;)]

I leave these caps I just made from ESPN

gracias, jazz... gasti looking cute!

glad he won in straights today!

the whole article from La Nacion

I tried to make these pics bigger... this is the best I could do

Both Gastón and Mariano Puerta looked exactly the same as they do now!

Atenea, great job! Thanks so much.

Together with translation of the article by Vale, it makes a perfect gift for all the Gaston fans who are not able to obtain the La Nacion copy.....

Thanks everyone for posting these cute photos :worship:

Gracias, Daniela, por las fotos!!! :hug:

It was awesome!!!
In the video they basically asked how did the French Open Champions feel after they won the final...
Nothing new in Gaston's answer.He said he couldn't believe it.Even a few days later,he still asked himself if it was real.
Good luck,Gato...Yes,it was real,and you have another chance to make it happen again :cool:

Gaston won his match against Felix Mantilla 6-4 6-4 6-3 earlier this afternoon. Good Luck, Gastiiii!!!! On Sunday he is playing vs David Ferrer...I'm nervous...go Gaston for another Roland Garros! You're te champion!

I am a bit behind this time, but here are finally some Gaston pics from Hamburg ;)

The rest of the Hamburg pics and Duesseldorf will follow (will hopefully get them tomorrow )

Pix from today's match.Good Job,Gato!!!

Wowwow, or GG wanted to be a line judge :cool:

Big thanks to every one for sharing pictures. :worship:

Thank you all for great pics!!! :worship:

Gasti looks quite relaxed in his matches... if only I could see them...

Here´s a typical moment of the match against Mantilla. He also played a marvellous shot, what we call a "Gran Willy" when he hits the ball between his legs with his back to the court, but I´ve found no pics.

That's weird because I can see them! Have you let them sufficient time to appear? I mean, they're very big and need time to upload. :)

Thanks for the pics, Cecilia and Sommar! :)!!!

Guess who I saw training saturday ... :o

Actually I thought it's Vilas but sugnature tells: "Former world tennis champion Ilie Nastase of Romania (L) attends the men's final match between Spain's Rafael Nadal, fourth seed, and Argentina's Mariano Puerta in the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris, June 5, 2005." :D :D :D

It's Vilas. :)

Yeah, I know, but it's so funny :yeah: )))) They look very different with Nastase)))

Glad you like them :)Thanks for the pics! Hope to talk to you soon! :hug:

Hope nobody will object to my posting this happy pic of Gastón and Marcela when he returned from Paris, as their relationship is pretty official by now!

Peggy, nice photos :)

Hello, i'm new here :wavey: but i'm not a new GG fan ;)
i had the chance to go to RG this year and i wanted to share my pics with you:

HERE!!! (http://eléa.fotopic.net/)

These pics were taken by me on friday 27th of may.
There are 5 gallery: "GG training", "the match against Mantilla", "other players", "GG on the phone" (we crossed GG's way in RG path's and he was on the phone.. posing for us ;) ) and the last gallery is :" t-shirt and autograph": it deserves a small explaination: i created a special T-shirt for him, with pics of his last year victory then after the training i met him and he signed on my t-shirt, it seemed he was pleased to see my creation and he took 5 minutes to find the right place to sign on the t-shirt without damaging it! i couldn't forget this wonderful moments when Gaston pulled my t-shirt in all sense to find space enough to sign! finally he found a right place.. on my right breast :eek: One of the best memory of my life :angel: (hope you excuse my hysterical teenie behaviour... :blush: )

Thanks for sharing them here too Eléa! :D

:eek: :eek: beautiful pics Elea, thanks

They're the scanned pages of a gossip mag called Pronto, that caught Gastón and Marcela out shopping (although they don't seem to have shopping on their minds! ;) ).
For those of you who disapprove of this "invasion of privacy", just don't follow up the link. :D

love your blog, Reiko, even if I can't read Japanese... it's so cool!

I miss Gaston... can't wait til Montreal!!

Peggy! Your WTC photos are fantastic :eek:

Sorry to anyone else that's taken photos here, I haven't ventured past the current page as yet... those ones are really awesome :yeah:

This is a pic taken this year in RG by Cécile, a French girl who has kindly accepted that I post it here. Her username on the MTF is tennistory, for those who'd like to thank her personally. I thought that, given the circumstances, that photo was one of the last ones on which we can see Franco and Gaston very happy together...

Olé just posted this pic.

Hi again, guys! :wavey::hugs:!!! Sorry for being away for so long one more time... as I told you, I'm doing summer classes too so I'm not too free for these holidays. I had a little over a week to rest and that's what I did! So anyway, thanks for the new pics, I was already getting a Gastón withdrawal! :lol:... Unfortunately I'm not getting coverage of the Suiss Open but still I'm glad he won 1st round and I hope he goes on. I'm supporting him as always! :bounce:!!!

Hehehe! Gaston seems to be more talented than Nico with fondue, but he better watch out! Look at the quantity of cheese stuck to the bread! :eek: And I presume they're enjoying a true recipe, with lot of white wine in the cheese!!!!! :o OK, I can't help it, sorry but :lick:

The French don't know how to make fondue. :p

:nerner: I presume you never met the right ones! :D But you're right for many! The fondue bourguignonne is more known around here!!!! And it requires less talents to prepare! :D

Allegedly they can make cheese as well.

Too bad the weather wasn't good for skydiving.

Allegedly yes, like a bunch of other yummy stuff!!!! :)

Too bad the weather wasn't good for skydiving.
Skydiving? For who? Gaston and Nico? :eek: Well, last year, in Vienna, David has shown his courage, with the rubberband jump -don't know if that's the exact term! But I prefer Gaston to be a bit more wary...

Both actually and Mariano was too chicken to bungy jump and Gaston should do it if he goes to Vienna this season.

Mariano has shown how reasonable he was! :angel: As for Gaston, I doubt he'd be that reasonable. If he wants to jump, he'll do it. But please, don't expect me to encourage him and even watch the video if there's one, like for David! My vertigo won't bear it!!!!! :confused:

I love those pix of Gasti and Nico doing the Swiss fondu thingy!! CUTE!

Congrats Gaston :yeah: :bigclap:

Hey, how cute of Gaston to wear that Canadian symbol, the maple leaf!! ;)
I've come to the conclusion that Gastón loves wearing the shirts and hats he's given! So all you lucky people going to Stuttgart, how about giving him something too? Who knows, he might end up wearing it! ;)
