*ALLEZ FRENCHIES ! WIMBLEDON FRENCHIES' THREAD!*

CAN A FRENCHMAN WIN WIMBLEDON ?? OR IS IT JUST AN ILLUSION ?

Our best players on grass at the present :
- Richard GASQUET, who won Nottingham last year and this year
- Sebastien GROSJEAN, last year semi-finalist
- Gael MONFILS, excellent on the Queen's grass against Ivan LJUBICIC
- Florent SERRA, semi-finalist at 's-Hertogenbosch

The players who can create the surprise :
- Fabrice SANTORO, old but very good on grass and on quick surfaces in general (his dream : to play on wimbledon central)
- Nicolas MAHUT, who won Wimbledon junior in 2000 against Mario Ancic, and who played very well when he defeated STEPANEK at Queen's and MALISSE at Nottingham...



Maybe you put your hope into others players ?



The Frenchmen's matches at the first round

Roger Federer (SUI/N.1) - Richard Gasquet (FRA)
Nicolas Mahut (FRA) - Jürgen Melzer (AUT)
Wayne Arthurs (AUS) - Fabrice Santoro (FRA)
Albert Portas (ESP) - Arnaud Clément (FRA)
Florent Serra (FRA) - Lukas Dlouhy (CZE)
Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA/N.32) - Mark Philippoussis (AUS)

Allez frenchies! Especially Richie!! :bigclap: but it's gonna be really tough!

Too bad Richard got Federer in first round... he should have a veeery good tournament.
Allez Grosjean!!!

Gasquet is a good player.
But he isn't lucky, he must face Federer too early.

Gasquet's draw :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:
Mathieu's draw :bigcry:
Simon's draw :bigcry:

One of the only ones who has a decent draw is Monfils, like in Roland Garros.

Poor Richie... :sad:

The Frenchies can all play on grass. They can go far.

Poor Richie... :sad:


Too bad he plays Roger in 1st round, but I still belive he can do good in 1st round, maybe even win .. who knows... :wavey: :wavey: Good Luck Grosjean also!

I want to believe in Richard...
ALLEZ RICHARD !!!
