:lol:, pretty surprising, well done Gilllou , @GilleSimonAddict, I agree with you, not having an stream while saying they have one which works is quite a bad move from the Boodles. Hope they fix it.
I guess they canceled Gilles/Wawa match. Play stopped during DelPo/Dolgo's match due to rain, and I can't quite tell if they resume or not, even the Boodles' twitter doesn't work :lol:. Maybe they figure no one cares about the score since it's a exo , so they don't bother to update either.
Tough draw in Wimbly , R1 vs Mathieu ( he has never beated PHM), R2 vs Malisse ( who plays great on grass), R3 vs Verdasco and if he gets to R4 he plays Federer most likely
Facing Frenchie has been troublesome for Gilles, facing a Frenchie he has never beaten before is double-trouble.
Well, good luck Gilles. One match at a time then we'll worry about R2 if he gets past Paulo.
Yeah, and Paul has had pretty good results at Wimbledon the last couple of times he's played there. Oh well, Gilles is a better player than anyone else in his section if he plays to his capabilities. Plus, even though personally I didn't want Roger and Gilles in the same section, at least he's had success against Roger in the past.
Anyway, Gilles was practicing with Nadal today in the morning and afternoon, hopefully some of his success will rub off on Gilles Apparently there was some good-natured trash-talking going on between the two of them as well :lol:
Well, (i'll try and contain my excitement here) looks like i'll be at Wimbledon day 1. Gilles is not on a show court so I will more than likely get to see him play live. FINALLY I will cheer him on like crazy. Cannot wait. I'll get pictures hopefully for you guys
Too bad for PHM but for a first round match I thought Gilles was playing well. His first serve was good today and he was hitting pretty aggressively. One match at a time.
i was praying for a series of injuries till the final, not bad! a win is a win and if it's in straight sets even better! now to jinx the rest of the field hehe
Paulo said he felt tension on top of the leg even before the match, he thought it would go away when he plays but it didn't, he didn't want to aggravate anything, he's not too worried but he prefers to be cautious (yes, better for him since he's so injury prone).
Gilles played well enough, The first set serve stat is very encouraging, 70% 1st serve. But by 2nd set, 1st serve % has dropped to mid 50%. Well, hopefully, he can keep serving well, cos that's like the most important on grass. It's good that the first match is short and not taxing. On the other hand though, I thought it's better for him to get more play time to get into rhythm. But anyway, we'll see what happen next round, against Malisse. Allez, Gilles.
Allez Gilles! Good to see him on a showcourt but it will be a tough one!
