Re: The "Tenacious Florianopolis Surfers" Chat Thread!

I have a pretty good idea of how the match went unfortunately, I'm quite sure Guga wasn't able to touch Ivan's serves, even second serves:sad:... His hip is so unstable, I read in his Miami interview that he sometimes has to "replace" it before serving, have you ever heard abous something like that:eek:

He shouldn't play Barcelona really, but I guess for his fans in Barcelona it's very sweet of him, they'll have the chance to see him for a last time :hug: I hope they do something special for him in RG, I'm sure there's gonna be a ceremony and a gift for him:)

Honestly, I really don't want to watch another match on clay. I think his movement is even more limited on clay than on hard court. :sad:

The match ended in less than an hour on clay so you can imagine how it went. As someone suggested in GM, Ivan really didn't go for much for the 3 service games that Guga won. The first one being at 5-0 in 1st set. :tape:

Guga plays against 19th seed Paul-Henri Mathieu at Roland Garros 2008 first round.

Vamos :rocker2:

"it'll be nice to face a French here (Paris) and also a high ranked player like him. It's hard for me, I watch at the trainings with the guys who are 80-90 in the ranking, I'm still below their level and always have to play as much I can 9in the limit), against Mathieu it will be a tough match"
"However, it will make the match more interesting(...) facing Mathieu, even being hard, will be a motivation and inspiration. And let's see how will the crowd act, if they cheer on me, then it will be a miracle"

Hello everyone:wavey:
Whoa I can't believe I haven't been here since May, so much has happened since then:eek:!!! Guga's retirement, all the summer, start of my final University year, crazy how fast time goes by sometimes doesn't it:eek:

First of all (I'm single BTW for those who are asking loll:p) I had my trip in May-June in Eastern Europe which was awesome, I just LOVEEE Russia and I wanna go back there one day, there is that mystery about Russia that attracts me so much, and since I'm learning Russian at school now I definitely have to go back:D!!

This summer I worked at Tommy H for a final time (now I got to find a job in civil engineering:D)!! The final year in University has started, I have my first exam of the semestry this afternoon, hopefully it's gonna be allright:) I'm already thinking about finding a job soon, looking for an appartment, those kinds of things:) I don't have a lot of money though, this final year is quite expensive (we have to pay for the prom, the engineer's ring and the trip to Varadero in January:D) but it's gonna be exciting for sure:)

As for tennis, I've been a bit more away than usual this year, my 2 all-time faves (Hingis and Guga) have now retired as well as Agassi, Clijsters and Myskina, so it takes some time to find new faves hehe;) Federer is still doing well except his domination is definitely over, 4 players are at the top now and I guess it's more exciting that way, I'm rooting for Federer and Djokovic all the way over Nadal and Murray loll;) In the women I especially love the Serbians, 2008 has been much better in the WTA than in the ATP for me generally;) We'll see the final tourneys of the year, I'm going to the Bell Challenge next week for the semis, can't wait:D! And we have our annual Halloween rave on October 31st (my 6th consecutive Halloween rave), I'm also looking forward to that:D!!

And you, how's it going:D?? Lee and Jiat, you still here:)?

Watching (right now) Guga inducted into Hall of Fame in Newport. Guga's mother Alice gave the introduction speech and Guga is a non-stop leaking faucet since and during his acceptance speech. Of course, this makes me a leaking faucet too. :p

He still looks the same as he won RG in 2002, not aging a single bit.
