Good to see him back with a racket, at least we know he's been used to grass for some weeks, he played so many times at football in Paris... lol

Good luck Seb :D

Thanks to everyone for posting pictures and news :wavey:

With all this football noise I totally forgot there is still tennis coverage on TV :eek:
I wonder what it means when Seb decides to play without his famous cap :scratch:
Here's the OOP for the doubles match on Tuesday. :woohoo: so excited to see him to play with Arnaud for the doubles again. I will push Angela try to take more photos for this match :lol: hope she didn't forget it.
PLEASE, DO THAT! :worship::worship::worship: And thanks to Angela in advance :)
And the OOP for the single match
So Seb should play both on Monday and Tuesday? Weird Englishmen :devil:

He explains in L'Equipe he now plays with a different (lighter) racquet to get rid of his shoulder problems. It feels a bit weird, his shots and his serve are not as "heavy" as they used to be and he has to speed up the ball much more with the new racquet, but the most important thing for him is that his shoulder doesn't hurt anymore:

« Pour servir, j’ai parfois la sensation de frapper dans le
vide. Ça fait un peu bizarre, ma balle est moins lourde, j’ai
moins de points gratuits au service. Dans le jeu, il faut que
je donne plus d’accélération. Mais, tant que je n’ai pas
mal à l’épaule, c’est l’essentiel. »

I saw it twice...last year in Paris against Tsonga, and he lost the match, and now against De Voest and he won. So I don't know, it doesn't seem like is has any mysterious meaning...or maybe it's a magic that doesn't always work :haha:

I was just wondering if he would do something great in Stella Artois! He was the finalists twice (as I remember... or more than that)?

Hope that he will get well soon :sad::sad:

Oh I just saw the video about Grosjean withdrew from the game on TV... Surprised that Hong Kong TV stations would run news of him...

In l’Equipe:
GROSJEAN DOUTEUX POUR WIMBLEDON.– Quand l’épaule tient, c’est la cuisse qui lâche… Après six semaines d’inactivité, Grosjean le maudit, victorieux lundi de De Voest, n’a pu rejouer hier que quinze minutes face à Murray avant d’abandonner à cause d’une petite lésion, comme à Monte-Carlo. « J’avais ressenti un petit point lundi, mais ce matin à l’échauffement j’avais mal. Le docteur m’a dit que j’en aurai pour dix jours. » Cela signifie qu’il pourrait s’aligner à Wimbledon. En attendant la confirmation, le Français retourne se soigner dans sa famille à Marseille.
I don’t get it because the title says he’s doubtful for Wimbledon and then it says the contrary.
He had already felt a little problem on Monday and his leg was hurting on Tuesday morning during the training. The doctor told him it will take 10 days to recover, which means he would be able to play in Wimbledon. He’ll go back to Marseille in the meantime.

10 days in Marseille , it's perfect to prepare Wimbledon ! lol
I prefer to laugh, but it's pathetic. He doesn't have any hopes for this tournament. :sad:

:lol: Kelly - You don't need to confess to me, coz I also haven't been on MTF for almost 2 years (well, came very rarely only for posting some photos I took from the tournaments i went, and that's it). I went to Australian Open this year, and finally watched his three "memorable" matches :lol: He played so well...even the match lost to Blake when having two sets leading :speakles: I never realized he is so popular in Australia that every of his match is full of the crowds!! I even can not find a place to sit down!! And it's good to see he is very nice to all the fans, gave the autographs to almost every one after winning. And....yes...that's really fantastic experience :lol:

And do you still remember Bix(XUZIZHEN)? She has been in Paris for almost half year. She went to Open 13 this year..well, just for one day, and Seb lost.....She planned to watch RG, but Seb didn't play...at least she wanted to watch his doubles match playing with Guga, but didn't have luck to get the ticket finally. Let's see if she has better luck on TMS Paris at the end of the year, and she would like to ask him about the retirement thing if there's any chance.

BTW, i've been learning French for almost 2 years (not the same purpose as you though, haha)....now we can share the study experience. :p
