I was just wondering who else out there is a mad Jarkko fan? I only took notice of him in January 2003 when he trained with Enqvist. Jarkko has the most wonderful game, I saw him beat Kafelnikov in Melbourne and I was blown away! Anyone that's a fan, feel free to contact me
I *think* I just uploaded a photo of Jarkko. lol! Bye for now,
Im sooo sick of him playing David Nalbandian! 1-3 record... 1-2 record on hard court. hmm. Good luck to him!
As for other Finns... Lauri Kiiski df Timo Nieminen 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 in the futures event in Great Britain.
I'm adding one nice pic of jarkko, and another strange one. It's his reaction to a line call
OOps... I never answered your question...or did I?
I met him for about a minute...during a signing session...but I dont really include that as 'meeting' him. Had a brief convo, thanked him for not playing 5 sets against massu. He laughed, I laughed... and I never saw him again cause Safin kicked his ass a little
It was 4 sets against Massu BG, and he lost to Safin, he didn't get his arse kicked and now you will have to plan to catch him during the Australian summer next year.
well, just found this thread. Actually Jarkko is one of my favourite players but I'd never realised it until I met him last year. He's really nice. He came to practice so early, before most players. And I did contribute photos of him from last year Thailand Open to tennishack's website.

Failed to qualify:
(6)Gabriel Trifu (ROM) d. Antti Tuomi (FIN) 6-3 6-4
Pjotrs Necajevs (LAT) d. Juri Barkov (FIN) 6-1 6-1
(2nd round) (2)Jose Checa (ESP) d. Martin Rammal (FIN) w/o
Yep...6-8 weeks Oh well... I guess the positive (if you can call it that!) is that at least it's his right, and not his left... thank goodness. I just hope he heals well. He's young, hasn't had issues with injuries so he should be sorted out pretty quickly
I really hope Jarkko and Paradorn can win a doubles title this year. They played a bunch of matches last year and came close a couple of times. I think their best chance will be in Bangkok later this year because the best tandem out there is only Ram/Erlich which won the title. No Bryan Bros, Bjorkman/Woodbridge or Bhupathi/Mirnyi.
Go Jakke and Ball!!
