Ones in 1997 Jonas gave Sampars and everyone else a hard time. He is considered as Swedens Davis Cup hero and a fighter. Now he is back and doing well in singles again, reaching the quarters of Wimbledon. I think he will be a big threat on the hard courts of North America. Playing doubles aswell as always and this made me respect him. Jonas should known as a good player.
Yeah... got that result in the email.... that's quite disappointing.
Is it just me, or is Jonas struggling to win finals? He had quite a lot of runner up finishes last year as well...
Damm: "This is the best tennis we played all week, in fact as a pair, this is the best we've ever played. We put pressure on them from the first point and it was great to play doubles before the singles final, as the stadium was full and a great atmosphere. It is my 31st title and it's great to keep winning tournaments."
Stepanek: "We've played seven tournaments together and tonight's match was the best we've ever played. Out of the seven times we've played, we have now won four titles and one semi-final and if we get the chance, I'd love to play more with Martin."

No. 1 in the World!
Thanks to my place in the final in Dubai this weekend, I am now ranked as the world´s best individual doubles player. Great, I will bring that with me to France!

Close in Dubai
Fabrice Santoro and I lost 2-6, 4-6 the final in Dubai on Sunday against Martin Damm and Radek Stepanek. They played well and we didn´t quite manage to get into the match. But my form seems to be good, which is important considering the Davis Cup match against France later this week.
Simon Aspelin and I, and Thomas and Pim-Pim Johansson, will form the team against France in Davis Cup which starts tomorrow with the singles.
France is absolutely the favorites, but this is our best possible team on clay, even if it would be slightly incorrect to call any of us "king of the clay". But Pim-Pim, for instance, is very difficult to meet on any surface. A player that does 50 aces in some matches can blow anyone off the court. Everybody who faces Pim-Pim does it with respect, if not fear.
Thomas Johansson has also been looking good on practice. He hits the ball well and has a great confidence after winning a lot of matches lately. I think our team in general has a better confidence than the French. As you know, Pim-Pim has also made great results lately.
The clay is rather slow, but the serve is much more of a weapon indoors on clay than outdoors.
Simon Aspelin and I has been practicing together three times this week, and we will play more this evening, when we also will sit down and talk about our strategy for our match on Saturday. It feels good. We are talking the same language, so to speak. He is powerful and hits hard, and I will show off my technical skills...
Hmm... how to say this, and still, sound like a Jonas fan...
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it " :lol: kom igen Jonas... you can do it!
