If almost every single Belgian player can have his own thread, why not make one for Dick ? The oldest player on the tour but still going :D We can support him here !!!

Well done Dick !!! :worship:

QF: D.Norman (4) - A.Sa (BRA)

I saw a picture of Dick on the tournament's website and he had clothes on from Adidas :confused: I thought he played with Lotto.

QF: D.Norman (4) - A.Sa (BRA) 6/1 6/2

Dick just came short in the 3rd set against Delgado :sad:

SF: D.Norman (4) - R.Delgado (PAR) 6/2 3/6 5/7

Nonetheless, his South-American tour was a great success :worship:

Now quarterfinal Davis Cup against Germany :devil:

Despite that Dick reached the semifinals in Mexico City last year as well, he still won a few spots on the rankings. In fact, he was the only Belgian to make progress :D

Ranking: 117 > 114

It's not much but it wil definitely help to get a place on the main draw of Roland Garros

Dick gave the crowd something to cheer about in the Davis Cup. He defeated Philipp Kohlschreiber 6/2 6/3 :clap2: in the 5th rubber.

Next week he will play in Casablanca ($ 75.000)

1R: D.Norman (5) - M.Mertinak (SVK)

1R: D.Norman/C.Rochus - C.Poch-Gradin/J.Smit (SPA/NED)

Good luck Dick and Christophe !!!

Dick lost in Casablanca :sad: That's bad, because time is running out if he wants to get on the main draw of Roland Garros.

1R: D.Norman (5) - M.Mertinak (SVK) 1/6 6/2 2/6.

Well, good luck in the doubles Dick. I think he and Chris have quite good chances of winning the title together. They have trained a whole week together for the Davis Cup. Hoping for the best :woohoo:

Well, apparantly the tournament website got things mixed up (very professional of them :rolleyes:) and Dick didn't reach the quarterfinals.

1R: D.Norman/C.Rochus - C.Poch-Gradin/J.Smit (SPA/NED) 6/4 4/6 8/10

Tomorrow (Thursday) is going to be a busy day for Dick. He has to play his 2nd round and possible quarterfinal in the singles and his quarterfinal in the doubles :unsure: . Hopefully he can pull it off.

Dick's African tour is not quite a success in comparison with his
South-American tournaments :(

1R: D.Norman - L.Ouahab (ALG) 1/6 1/6
 
#46 ·
At least Dick is through in the doubles. What a win :yippee: I did not expect that it would be that easy. Tipsarevic :unsure:

QF: D.Norman/O.Tereshchuk (UKR) - P.Andujar/F.Santoro (SPA/FRA-3)

SF: D.Norman/O.Tereshchuk (UKR) - L.Kubot/O.Marach (POL/AUT-1)
 
#48 ·
Kubot/Marach proved to be the better team today :sad:

SF: D.Norman/O.Tereshchuk (UKR) - L.Kubot/O.Marach (POL/AUT-1) 2/6 2/6

But still, a semifinal is a good result :)

Best of luck in your next tournament Dick !

The qualification draw of Roland Garros has been released.

Q1: D.Norman (25) - B.Dabul (ARG)

Hopefully Dick can qualify, after some bad results :devil:
 
#53 ·
Unfortunately Dick loses first round 4-6/4-6 :eek:

Service percentage low, return percentage bad:(

Brian 'Frodo' Dabul on the contrary had a 80 plus percentage and was clearly very comfortable with Big Dick's service:confused:

Adding to the bad spell is the fact that Bolzojac lost to Dieter Kindlmann
so Dick had fairly easy rounds. But then again, what match is easy these days, especially at the slams?

Good luck next week Dick, hope you will get through to the finals as you will lose your Roland Garros points of last year (50!) in 2 weeks!

:wavey: :wavey:

Unbelievable :sad: He only hit 5 aces :confused:

I sure hope he can find his game on the grass courts in a couple of weeks
