Now if only they could release a large version of that pic, so I could make it my fb profile pic

I'm very happy with Delpo, 14th title. Would be great if he reached at least 15 if not more before his 25th birthday, given all he had to go through injury wise it's quite remarkable to say the least.

1 Slam
5 500s
8 250s

4 on clay
6 on outdoor hard
4 on indoor hard

He also maintains the best finals win % record of any active player and 6th best of all-time: 14-5.

He played great all week, didn't drop a set despite quality opposition and only got broken twice (today only), I hope he can keep it up into the clay season. Next week, there's Marseille, where he's definitely the favorite to take the title, but I'm more intrigued about Dubai, where he'll share the field with Federer and Djokovic on one of the few not slow as moleasses hardcourts left.

Lender's is Delpo playing Estoril this year?

I hope so. I believe he will choose either Estoril or Munich, hope he comes to Estoril, everyone loves him here and he won the title in the past two years

I'll be waiting for him to confirm before deciding for which sessions I'll buy tickets (if he doesn't come, will just get a ticket for the final this year).

Also to add to my post about his titles: 7 before surgery, 7 after surgery

7 titles before surgery, 7 after surgery is great . I really have faith Juan can win a slam within next 2 years .

How much are tickets for Estoril?

Yup, his comeback has been phenomenal. I have faith too, but first he needs to find a way to remain healthy for extended periods. If that happens, big things are possible of course.

As for ticket prices: http://www.estorilopen.net/Tickets/Ticket-Pricing.aspx

If a big name like Delpo doesn't show up, they will put a bunch of Portuguese mugs on center court every day, no way am I getting tickets for that. I believe Juan will choose Estoril over Munich though and get the three-peat, he seems to like it here

[cobalt60]

Nice to see this place more active Thanks Kat for the pic and ML for the stats!

[Prodigy.]

Damn very good prices, but just realised Estoril is before I get the bursary I am going to use to go to a Tennis event abroad. Probs use it for Paris Masters then, because that guarantees I see Murray, Djoker and Juan, but they'll probably all tank

^ It is Paris end of the year tournie after all; are you sure that's the best one to attend?
