Summer outdoor hardcourt season starts with Granby this week. He plays another frenchies Mathieu Rodrigues and didn't enter doubles.
If he has too much he can give me a bit of his prize money :umbrella:By the way, Arnaud needs around 29000$ to have 7 Million in his entire career.
I use to know you more optimistic we must hope he will be be in Recanati final next sunday :cheerleader:Yeah it rained a lot. Same as where I live. I do hope he will play nex Sunday as well
It's the schedule who is strange clay and sunday before a tournament If he had been scheduled on monday in recanati it would have been tough hopefully he's not.Why is it strange that he played? I guess he has a contract with the team and next Sunday is the last day. That didn't leave much time to fulfill his part of the deal. :shrug:
Yes pity they lost as they were looking a better team on paper. It's Aachen the fav for the title ?And for the players Bundesliga is pretty relaxed. Too bad they didn't win, in the preview the teamchef expected a win from him.
And the tie Halle - DĂĽsseldorf was the most anticipated. Both teams are considered the strongest in the Bundesliga.
I think it's too late unless he has a baby to born tomorrow it won't help his season now I saw the pics of Carine Thimothée and Gilles in Hamburg that was really cute I remember too players retiring after babies birth :angel:Maybe he should get a little Arnaud, just like Gilles. With 3 titles after Timothée's birth, I'm convinced babies are good for tennisplayers.
Since Bordeaux where he was not on court to win I feel him very serious on court coming with desire but we must say that since these 2 months his implication doesn"t pay off that"s long. I'm afraid this with soon affected his head then it's only tennis and as a veteran this king of fall can happen . Well he's free on sunday maybe in Halle if the teamchef wants. Then Segovia if he's not fed up and doesn't take holidays.I'm sad for him, it must be tough indeed. I hope the hard court is better, I'm sure it turns around for him then.
Hello Bruno I would like to borrow your son :lol:He can borrow his nephew as a lucky charm for this season
Yes :cheerleader::cheerleader:We can give him a peptalk if he plays for Halle this weekend
I'm jealous, I also want to spend my holiday in the south of France. I always want to be in the south of France Maybe one day.Yes I was there. I spend my holidays in the south of France and there was a Nolwenn's concert at the same period so it was the perfect occasion to see her on stage this summer for me . The show is really different from the Cheshire cat's one but as stunning as the precedent and even more ! This kind of songs really suits her and she has a great energy, a pleasure to see and hear for sure...
I know you love Bruno , he was not far from me, it was the first time I saw him and I found him really handsome (with very beautiful golden blonde hair lol) and tanned ! Whaou . His wife was wearing a "marinière" the famous tee-shirt from Britanny
It was really fun to see the same people who are always at Arno's matches at the Open 13 and even an Arno's friend from the country club of Aix en Provence.
I'm really sad for him, his level is better than his ranking and he has absolutly no luck with the draws at the moment. I hope this bad patch will soon end with a good result, if the contrary happens I guess it will be more and more difficult for him to find motivation...
It was a kind of theatre, outside, a very nice place :angel:, you can see it there http://www.mairie-gemenos.fr/Loisirs/Culture/Theatre-de-Verdure/HistoriqueI'm jealous, I also want to spend my holiday in the south of France. I always want to be in the south of France Maybe one day.
Glad to hear the show is great, I really can't wait, but November still takes so long.
Hihi, it was quite obvious during the time he was Arnaud's coach. But he was just so nice every time we asked him something. Too bad I didn't see him after Arnaud's match in Marseille, would have been nice to say hi to him. You must have had very good seats to be so close to him and the family.
There is no sun to enjoy anyway. I guess it will come in September when I am back at school.I'm not convinced he enjoys the summer sun what a stupid title actually
Some summer holidays would be good to see how life is without tennis and for us how life is without the french veteran on ATP tour as we can't say we are on the ideal way for an extra season :scratch: unless he wants to be the next George Bastl or something like that or a player more focused on doubles. It would be cool to know a bit of his actual spirit :wazzup:. I hope he can enjoy the indoor season with some tournaments near home. You can play qualies more easily and see some friends .
he's off for at least for 3 weeks as he entered no events I think we have to check the list for USO qualies which are starting the 23th will he travel again over the ocean ? then I would say some chances for the Saint Remy de Provence challenger during second week of USO, Metz, Mons, Rennes, Orleans well a bit of home crowd.
I don't really know Olivier, have never seen him, but I like Boris. He should stay with Arnaud. :awww:I'm wondering about the coach situation In the pics i found that Julien Jean Pierre was again there at least someone looking like him maybe for Nico But since Wimbledon i found no traces of Boris or Olivier near Arno
feel some sadness for him. He's out of the deal because of either a bad level a low confidence or a bad luck depending how you see the things. I assume that this long period of work since RG until Segovia for such poor results really affects him . I'm not convinced he enjoys the summer sun what a stupid title actuallyArno lost his match against Sijsling 2/6 - 6/1 - 6/7 (8/10)
I saw the match on livestream...It was really awful at the beginning by both players, they were unable to keep their serve with a lot of unforced errors and double faults. Arno with just an average level should have won this 1st set easily but he was playing poorly...
2nd set was better by Arno with good shots and Sijsling always poor in the game.
The 3rd set was good, the 2 players hold their serve easily excepting the last one before the tie-break when Arno had to save a match point.
The tie-break was tensed and inconsistent with unforced errors but also good shots, double fault and ace...He lost it with an easy volley into the net. In this set they've the same level and again the looser is Arno but he could have won it in 2 sets so...

He was 4-2 up in the tie-break according this and what did he say ? He was feeling good i don't understand the end of the sentence poor spanish for meand EL HOLANDÉS SIJSLING APEA DE DIECISEISAVOS A UNO DE LOS CABEZA DE SERIE ARNAUD CLÉMENT
El segundo clasificado para octavos de final ha sido el jugador de Amsterdam (177Âş del mundo), Igor Sijsling.
El holandés de 23 años se llevó con comodidad el primer set por 6/2; mientras que el veterano francés, Arnaud Clément (octavo cabeza de serie del torneo) hizo lo propio en la segunda manga por 6/1.
De manera que el partido empezó de verdad en el tercer parcial que, como estaba casi anunciado, desembocó en el tie-break, aunque manejó serias opciones de llevárselo Sijsling.
En el desempate final, Clément se puso 4-2, pero fue cambiar de lado y volvieron todas las opciones a la raqueta del holandés que, sin embargo desaprovechó tres pelotas de partido, permitiendo que el francés dispusiera de otras dos. Hasta que remató Sijsling, tras error de Clément con un 10-8 definitivo.
DespuĂ©s de las más de 2 horas de batalla, los jugadores se expresaban asĂ:
Sijsling: “En el primer set me ha costado acostumbrarme a la pista, pero lo he podido sacar adelante. Nos hemos roto mutuamente el servicio bastantes veces durantes los dos primeros sets; pero en el tercero nos hemos respetado el saque hasta llegar al tie-break y tras 4 bolas de partido he conseguido sacarlo adelante, que era lo importante”
Clément: “Me he sentido bien tanto en pista como por mi juego, pero finalmente no ha podido ser”.
It's near Segovia in the north of Madridwhere's this tournament? why a spanish report? lol
It seems He could have won half of the match he lost past weeks but he can't this also sounds like a metaphor. Physically he feels the years then it's in the head and it gives a tons of lossbefore we get used to atp without arno, we have to get used to arno without a win, both are hard.
