I'll start it in time then

After his loss to Lacko, it's time for Rosmalen. He has some points to defend here (QF last year).

In L'Equipe:
À la fois mou sur ses jambes et crispé, Jérémy Chardy (55e mondial) ne put jamais pratiquer son jeu d’attaque hier face au Slovaque Lukas Lacko (75e), un joueur qui retourne plutôt bien, mais ne présente pas d’autres véritables atouts. « C'est frustrant, reconnaissait le vaincu. Je joue tout le temps avec la peur au ventre. Au lieu de me libérer, je me contente de mettre la balle dedans, ce qui n'est pas mon style. » Ce déficit de confiance n’a pas échappé à son entraîneur Frédéric Fontang : « Jérémy traverse une passe difficile. On travaille sur le déblocage mental. Pour l'instant, ça ne passe pas. »
He was tight, not moving well and never managed to play his attacking game. Lacko is quite a good returner, but doesn't have any other big weapons. Jim: "It's frustrating. I play all the time with fear. Instead of trying to play freely, I'm just putting the ball back in play, which isn't my game." Fontang confirms he's going through a bad patch and says they're working on this mental block he has, but it's not working so far.

Thanks for the info truc

I like that l'équipe writes about him! I hope he'll work on the mental block this week, but I'm not sure if such a thing can be solved in a week

pic is from rosmalen last year, hope he'll play as good as when i supported him against petzschner last year

Yes confidence left him with all these losses. He did well in Dusseldorf but apparently he doesn't help him. I hope he will have a good draw in wimbledon

He was in the toughest section of the draw (imo) in Halle, I didn't expect him to go far.

Really hoping he gets a good draw at Rosmalen. He's got such a nice game for grass.

I'm afraid I got my hopes up after he beat Kohls and Pico, but Lleyton is *really* tough.

As for the Wimbledon draw, anything has to be better than last yr, drawing Roddick first round, right? He's gotta have better luck this year

But no cheering for him unfortunately
