It is strange, I have him as RosewAll in my file and yet typed the way I did

By the way as I know you're an expert in young players, Springer, would you know if there's a connection between the Georgian youngster Aleksandre Metreveli and the old glory Alex Metreveli ? grand-son or something ?

No idea

and what's stranger is that JediFed did the same : is it paranormal activity ? (thinking of Roswell)

I wondered the same thing, but decided to leave (Rose)well enough alone. After all, it is more precise to say he played very well than to say he played like a wall.

Oh, and JediFed... Could you, please, change No2e to No1e?

I only changed it to No2e after irritation with the poster who asked, "where's No2e", when he was already on the list.

It will stay there until after the AO.

Probably because English orthography has far more well than wall in names.

Also he has 33 SFs, not 32. Could be 34 tomorrow.

Novak reached his 12th straight semifinal, and is now tied with Edberg and McEnroe.
He now also has 16 consecutive quarters.
