So Powerful!:p

Thanks Truc :D Eddie is looking a little too skinny these days.

I hate working so much, I don't get much time to post in these places :(

Eddie has always been very skinny though :shrug:

Yes but he's getting skinnier. I don't want him to lose what little ass he has. :p

Yes but he's getting skinnier. I don't want him to lose what little ass he has. :p

Hmm, he was like that in Scheveningen too. I don't care about his ass, as long as the face remains adorable :awww:

What happens is that for some reason it will never log me back in. I tried typing it my password and then when it doesn't work, I always hit send me a password reminder and it never works. I've tired like everything, so I just used my college email address now. Its so annoying--its has something to do with my computer I think :mad:

Edouard and Thierry won their first match 6-2, 6-2 :woohoo:

Thanks for all the hot Eddie pics, Carlita :hearts:

and yay for doubles!

The ATP is very slow at updating their draw sheet. And the FFT is even slower.

They must have played at least their QF match now, but probably more. The singles final is already known.

QF:

Thierry Ascione/Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) d. (4)David Guez/Alexandre Sidorenko (FRA) 2-6 6-2 (10-8)

SF:

Thierry Ascione/Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) d. (WC)Nick Monroe/Scott Oudsema (USA) 6-1 6-0

but I'm cheering for Eddie for sure :D

Doubles Final

Fleishman is tricky, but not unbeatable. Carlsen would be tough. I don't think he will qualify :sad: But give it your all, Eddie :D Allez!

Edouard :)

I'm not getting my hopes up that he's going to qualify, but there is always a tiny, tiny chance that he might. Allez Eddie :yeah:

Carlsen plays qualies now?
He was a seed when he played in SH, but it was aout 3 years ago. This blond played well, but age is the killer...Like Wayno, he was a tough player, but nowadays.... he is getting old...and becomes a player who is easy to be beat.

Hiya :bigwave:

great tournament, let's hope he keeps going :D

Eddie defeated Ascione (his doubles partner)6 -2, 3-6, 7 -6 :woohoo:

He next faces Gilles Muller in the semifinals. :yeah:

The article in the local newspaper (L'Est républicain) today:S'il n'en reste qu'un...
Dernier joueur issu des qualifications, Edouard Roger-Vasselin a battu son pote Thierry Ascione pour se retrouver en demi-finale. L'aventure continue.
THISE. _ La réussite ne tient parfois qu'à un fil et ce n'est pas Edouard Roger-Vasselin qui prétendra le contraire. Présent à l'Open depuis... samedi dernier et le début des qualifications, l'un des pensionnaires du team Lagardère a bien failli refaire ses valises illico, frôlant alors de très, très près l'élimination face à son compatriote Thomas Oger. Aujourd'hui dernier Mohican des quatre qualifiés, Roger-Vasselin a su ensuite se déjouer de tous les pièges posés sur sa route pour décrocher le droit ô combien mérité de disputer la deuxième demi-finale de l'après-midi face au Luxembourgeois Gilles Muller, pour sa part toujours aussi impressionnant au service. Hier, cependant, le match livré par le plus âgé des quatre demi-finalistes (24 ans, contre 23 à Muller, 21 à Montcourt et 18 à Gulbis) fut un brin particulier dans la mesure où Thierry Ascione est plus qu'un pote de team. « C'est mon partenaire d'entraînement et de chambre sur les tournois. Lors de notre seule confrontation en match officiel, en demi-finale du tournoi du Bronx en 2004, il m'avait battu en deux sets serrés », rappelait le jeune homme. Avant de confier dans un grand sourire au sujet de ce que l'on pourrait qualifier de revanche : « Ce soir, c'était pour la bonne cause ! ». Laquelle fut longue à se dessiner, sans doute à cause des premières balles de service retrouvées par Ascione une fois le début de la deuxième manche, avec un record à 211km/h. « Il passait 80 % de premiers services et contre lui, je n'avais pas d'autre solution que d'attaquer sur ses deuxièmes balles », rappelait le vainqueur du jour qui se retrouva soudain à la diète. Et lorsque l'occasion se présenta, notamment dans le jeu décisif de la dernière manche, Roger-Vasselin se mit à gamberger. « A 5-2 service à suivre, je m'y suis un peu trop vu. En 30 secondes, je me suis retrouvé à 5-4, service pour Thierry », s'amusait Edouard. Heureusement, la suite fut d'un tout autre acabit et c'est bien le plus jeune des deux qui a obtenu le droit de poursuivre l'aventure.
« Mettre mon prénom en valeur... »
Engagé dans une semaine-marathon (« J'arrive quasiment à un tournoi du grand chelem sur une semaine en nombre de matches. C'est plutôt bon signe ! »), Edouard Roger-Vasselin n'attend plus que du bonheur de son séjour bisontin.
Surtout, Edouard va désormais pouvoir se faire un prénom. Comme Nicolas Mahut et quelques autres sur le circuit, Edouard est lui aussi un « fils de ». En l'occurrence de Christophe dont le plus grand fait d'armes remonte à ce tournoi de Roland-Garros, cuvée 1983. Opposé à Jimmy Connors en quarts de finale, le paternel avait alors usé et abusé des balles « cotonneuses » pour faire perdre et son tennis et le match à Connors avant de s'incliner avec les honneurs face à Yannick Noah en demi-finale. S'il avoue ne pas souffrir de la comparaison, le fiston confie même s'en amuser : « Forcément, j'essaye de mettre mon prénom en valeur. Mais à part en France, dans le milieu, peu de gens savent qui est mon père. Le match contre Connors ? Je l'ai regardé en cassette vidéo puisqu'à l'époque, je n'étais pas né. Mais franchement, ça m'a fait bien rigoler ». Très proche de son premier supporter, au point de l'appeler après chaque match (« en plus ici, il peut les suivre sur internet »), Edouard confiait hier soir que le père pourrait venir le soutenir en « direct-live » à Besançon ce week-end, « samedi peut-être, et dimanche sûrement si je suis en finale ». C'est tout le mal qu'on lui souhaite !
Bertrand JOLIOT

The summary:
He's been in Besancon since last Saturday and was almost out against Oger. Yesterday's match was special since they're not just in the same team with Thierry: "He's my sparring partner and roommate during tournaments. We had only played once against each other (Bronx 2004) and he had won in 2 close sets." Thierry was serving very well yesterday (211 km/h in the 2nd set): "He was at 80% on his first serve and I had no other choice than to attack his second serves." In the TB of the last set, he got tight at 5-2 on his own serve: "30 seconds later, it was 5-4, service Ascione!" But he managed to win it somehow.
Then a part about his father and the fact that he has a famous last name, like Mahut and some other guys on the circuit. It doesn't bother him, he even finds that funny. "Except in France, and only in the tennis world, nobody knows who my father was. That match against Connors? I watched it on video since I wasn't born at the time. To be honest, I had a good laugh." :lol: They are very close with his father, he calls him after each match (his father will maybe come to Besançon for the semi-final and surely be there on Sunday if he makes it to the final.)

Yeah! Doud is in final!
He beat Muller 6-4 6-1 ---> good job

He will play the final against Gulbis!

Come on Edouard!

:worship:

Eddie is on pleine forme :dance: :yeah:

Keep it up :rocker:

And the great news is that Eddie's great run (and hopefully title) in Besançon saved him from the qualifying competition in Cherbourg next week :D

He has a Special Exempt :D This is his draw:

Frederico Gil POR [7] vs. Edouard Roger-Vasselin FRA [SE]
Jean-Christophe Faurel FRA vs. Uros Vico ITA
David Guez FRA vs. Go Soeda JPN
Tobias Clemens GER vs. Gilles Muller LUX [3]

If Eddie is not too tired, he could go far again :D

Géraldine, what does doud mean?

Thanks for the article(and translation) and all the photos.

Edouard is doing fantastic! :woohoo: I'm so happy. I hope he can win tomorrow!! :bounce:

The summary:
"He's my sparring partner and roommate during tournaments. We had only played once against each other (Bronx 2005) and he had won in 2 close sets."

I was at that match :eek: Really close two sets. I really thought Edouard was going to reach the final in 2004. And even when Edouard was down he never gave up which was great to see. :yeah:

C'mon Eddie :rocker2:

finish it off!

Même pas fatigué !
Facile vainqueur de Gilles Muller, Edouard Roger-Vasselin se retrouve en finale. Pour son huitième match du tournoi !
THISE. _ Edouard Roger-Vasselin poursuit son tour de « grand huit » dans le tournoi bisontin. Solide dans tous les compartiments de jeu, le Parisien n'a pas tremblé pour remporter son septième match et s'ouvrir les portes de la finale face à Gulbis. Non sans être un peu surpris de la déconcertante facilité avec laquelle il s'est débarrassé de Gilles Muller : « C'était nickel, aujourd'hui ! Je n'ai même pas eu à puiser dans mes réserves... ».
Alors qu'on aurait pu le croire émoussé par une semaine d'efforts intensifs, Roger-Vasselin a expédié les affaires courantes. Un break dans le premier set au moment opportun, puis une promenade de santé dans le second ont eu raison des ambitions de Muller. « A partir du moment où je lui ai pris son service à 4-4 dans le premier set, le match a complètement basculé », analysait le Parisien. Avant de questionner : « Je me demande si Gilles n'était pas blessé tant le match a pris une autre tournure ». La réponse venait du sympathique Luxembourgeois : « Le mental a fait la différence. Par rapport à mes autres matches de la semaine, c'était le jour et la nuit ».
Toujours présent, Edouard s'amuse un peu plus chaque jour de son parcours qu'il compare non sans humour avec celui d'un tournoi majeur : « En une semaine, j'en suis à autant de matches qu'un Grand Chelem ! Mais maintenant, pour gagner ce gros tournoi, il faut être un bon joueur. Alors demain, j'espère que je serai un très bon joueur... ». Il le faudra dans la mesure où les deux hommes s'étaient affrontés l'été dernier au tournoi finlandais de Tampere, « et Gulbis m'avait mis deux petits sets », reprend le chouchou du public doubien. Le genre de situation qu'Edouard avait déjà connu contre David Guez au deuxième tour...
The title: "Not even tired!"
He's very surprised it was so easy and is even wondering if Gilles was injured. But Gilles answers he was fine, he was just mentally completely off compared to the other days.
Edouard jokes about the fact that his run in Besançon is comparable with a Grand Slam, based on the number of matches. You have to be a great player to win big tournaments and he knows he'll have to show great tennis today because he already played Gulbis in Tampere last year and lost in two easy sets.

I watched Gulbis' match yesterday, he was very impressive indeed, so good luck to Edouard!

His draw in Cherbourg next week. ;)

I had already posted :lol:

It was not a very good final, but Edouard gave it his all and would have won if Gulbis hadn't served so well.

Oh well :sad:

Cherbourg next, where he is also playing doubles with Thierry! Allez!

And the article of the local newspaper about the final:Gulbis, roi du suspense
Embarqué par Edouard Roger-Vasselin dans un troisième set périlleux, le prodige letton Ernest Gulbis a su retourner en sa faveur une situation bien compromise. Du grand art !

THISE. _ Une dernière volée déposée hors de portée d'Edouard Roger-Vasselin, une poignée de mains rapide à son valeureux adversaire et Ernest Gulbis a pu aller se réfugier dans les bras de son père pour savourer sa victoire.
Après quasiment deux heures d'un féroce combat entre deux protagonistes peu avares de leurs efforts, ni de leurs courses aux quatre coins du terrain, le Letton de 18 ans a fini par prendre le meilleur sur son aîné français de six ans. Pour aussi briser net le rêve secret de celui-ci d'être le premier joueur issu des qualifications à s'imposer sur les courts du Trébignon.
Et si Roger-Vasselin égale l'Américain Eric Taino, déjà auteur de ce parcours presque parfait en 2003, on retiendra surtout que le Français a non seulement remporté un set mais qu'il a eu vue sur la victoire lorsqu'il prit le service de son adversaire d'entrée de troisième set.
« A 2-0, je savais pourtant que tout restait à faire, surtout qu'à ce moment, la fatigue commençait de plus en plus à se faire ressentir. C'est aussi à cet instant que j'ai commencé à perdre 10Km/h sur mon service. Au lieu de claquer des premières balles à 180, voire 185km/h, j'arrivais péniblement à 170km/h », confiait le Parisien. Un Parisien qui tentait de se relever (moralement) de cette défaite comme un boxeur qui vient d'encaisser un terrible uppercut.
Avant de constater lucidement mais le regard encore vide : « C'est au moment où j'en avais le plus besoin que je n'ai pas su enfoncer le clou... ».

Avec la manière
Malmené depuis un set et demi et devenu extrêmement nerveux (tendance que ses jets de raquette répétés entre la fin de la deuxième manche et le début de la troisième confirmèrent) alors qu'il avait enlevé le premier set sans contestation possible avec break dès le premier jeu de service de Roger-Vasselin, Ernest Gulbis sut cependant puiser au plus profond de ses réserves pour retrouver son tennis et la maîtrise des opérations.
Une attitude « moyennement » appréciée par son adversaire : « Je n'ai pas aimé son comportement lorsqu'il balançait sa raquette. J'avais l'impression qu'il me prenait de haut. En même temps, c'est vrai que ça me motivait pour m'accrocher en plus et le pousser à la faute ».
Mais beau joueur et surmontant son immense déception, le sociétaire du team Lagardère ajoutait : « Même si à force j'avais de super repères sur ce court, il faut reconnaître qu'Ernest a sorti un grand match aujourd'hui ».
De son côté, Gulbis, voyait les choses sous un autre aspect : « Il fallait que je me fasse violence parce que plus le match avançait, plus j'étais tendu. Et franchement, je suis très content de m'en être sorti face à Edouard... ».
Un peu en retrait, mais jamais très loin de son protégé, Niki Pilic avançait pour sa part un argument des plus recevables : « Après son premier set où Ernest a maîtrisé tous les paramètres du jeu, il a voulu ajouter la manière. Gagner et jouer bien en même temps, d'où ses sautes d'humeur qui n'ont heureusement pas eu de conséquence sur la finale. Moi, je lui demandais simplement de gagner sans en faire des tonnes. C'est sûr, ça lui servira de leçon... ».
Bertrand JOLIOT

shame he couldn't win that final but oh well...still a good overall result.

Bonne chance à Cherbourg!

But it was to be expected, I guess.

Allez Eddie in the next event :yeah:

Eddie and Guez had to retire in doubles due to left knee problems for Eddie :scared:

But since everyone has been retiring in Fes, I don't know if it's serious. I hope not! :hug:

Oh non are you sure of this??
Does he play week 14 ???

I hope it isn't too serious his injury. Eddie :hug:
