Olivier Patience anyone?
 

Hi...not sure if he already has a thread here but I couldn't see it. Just wondering if anyone has any info on Olivier? I saw him last year at Roland Garros but didn't pay all that much attention to him, however I saw quite a bit of him at the Aus Open this year and have decided I want to support him more ;)

Vous pouvez me répondre en français aussi si vous voulez...or english...whatever.

thanks!! :)

Someone tell him that he simply cannot go to Vina del Mar and that he is needed in Delray Beach, player hospitality will cater to his every need...
