The draw will be made today, I think. Really nervous. New surface, and not much match practice.
Hopefully, a good draw will ease that.

I am supersticious as well Delsa but 13 is a lucky number...delsa said:Do you think that it's a good sign or a bad sign that he's seeded 13 for the USO?
Are some of you supersticious like me?
Mm so true.. But you know lately these days all the claycourt specialists are doing well on hard courts.. It's the case for me.. the slow red clay that I grew with helps with the hardcourt games.deflori said:Alberto Martin is a claycourtspecialist,but can sometimes play on hardcourt too...
But this should be no problem for Richy - hope he comes wide..when here in runs tennis since a long time
Yeah but you beat me to it two times on other threads so that's ok, isn't it?Marine said:ehhh tu vas plus vite que moi delsa j'allais poster l'article en question qui m'a bien fait rire. Et oui, c'est plus gratifiant que les bulles ! lol
Oh dear. I hope he didn't say it directly like that in English. :lol:delsa said:le très courtisé Français a dû poliment décliner l'invitation: «Non, Greg, j'ai déjà quelqu'un...»
Yeah, but i hope he's not bluffing too much and really feels at least a little bit better...Of course he can't not give it a try with a draw like that. But we're not fooled. Tendinitis does not heal in a heartbeat...silverwhite on PHM board said:Richard :lol: Glad to hear he's better.
If he said, "I have someone else already" (direct translation), it sounds like he's saying that he is taken.oskyldig said:lol just sounds funny as it is; so informal but at the same time having someone else lol
I was thinking that!tennisgirl19 said:Wow, Richard's such a popular guy. Everyone wants him...
Allez
:lol: that would be really funnySuzi said:I was thinking that!next they be fighting for him joke
I knew i shouldn't have been so euphoric! What we feared the most, since we heard about these chronical pains in the elbow without admiting it, happened...In today's L'Equipe, Deblicker says that Richard suffers from a beginning of the famous "Tennis Elbow" (or lateral epicondylitis)! Catastrophic news! He says he can only train 1h30min a day, can't serve properly etc...So his participation at the USO is in doubt again!delsa said:Yeah, but i hope he's not bluffing too much and really feels at least a little bit better...Of course he can't not give it a try with a draw like that.

(I sound so pedantic! ...Sorry)
That's a bad habit all the young players have taken it seems...I hope he'll loose this one as he did with the video games one...Marine said:Richard was at arnaud clement's match (quallies) with paulo. Nice of them to support the friends. It seems he's permanently with his cell phone at ears ! lol
Exactly. I would rather him not play at all then become more seriously injured. I'm really worried about his tennis elbow now. I want Richard to play the Open, but I don't want him to hurt himself more.silverwhite said:I don't know. He has a good draw and it would be nice for him to pick up a few points, but not at the expense of his career.
