Since the entry lists are out... :p

1) Halle
2) Nottingham
3) Wimbledon

Hmm... He has to defend points from his Queen's QF and he chooses to switch to Halle? :scratch:
 
#2 ·
so he is definitely not going to queens? that is so annoying cos they show queens in the Uk and i bet they wont show halle.
 
#3 ·
I was So looking forward to seeing him at Queen's. :( This so sucks now I have to travel 2 hours and half to see him at Nottingham. Grr!
 
#4 ·
Yaaay Im off to nottingham, got a CC ticket, hope he is on the OOP for tuesday :D
 
#5 ·
damn, he should've stuck to queens
 
#6 ·
Good luck in all 3 however i am not here to watch all 3 :( and i only live 45 mins from notts!!!!!

Too bad he chose to play Halle instead. It actually seems to be a better tournament, but I only get coverage of Queen's of those pre-Wimbledon tournaments. But good luck to him!

Hopefully he'll find some form in the surface that gave him his first title. I really want him at least to defend Nottingham and his 4th round in Wimbledon, but I think he'll need a bit of luck with the draw in these bigger tournaments.

Good luck, Richard!

Well, the first round match could have been worse. However, the possible 2nd round match with Roger (if he plays) :scared:

Richard plays also the Doubles with Kristof Vliegen, the guy who beat him in... Hambourg. First math against Hass/Waske.

Otherwise Richard is already training in grass court located in... Paris !

in l'equipe :
PISTON DIPLOMATIQUE. – C’est presque un secret d’État. Pour aborder la saison sur gazon, Richard Gasquet s’est préparé à Paris sur… gazon. Mais où ? « Je ne le dirai pas », soufflait ces derniers jours son entraîneur Eric Deblicker. Mais comme le seul court vert répertorié dans l’Hexagone se situe à l’ambassade de Grande-Bretagne, on peut en déduire que Gasquet a activé les réseaux diplomatiques pour se faire le pied jardinier.

What the [multiple expletives deleted] is wrong with this draw? Federer, Safin, and Gasquet all in the same quarter? Baghdatis in the same half as them? WTF? :mad:

I don't really want Federer to pull out, but then again... :eek:
 
#20 ·
I hope Roger withdraws... if not, there's only one thing I have to say about this beautiful draw (and all the rest of the draws this season):

I wonder why he didn't choose to play with another Frenchie like Serra, Simon or Clement. :confused:
Maybe they didn't want to be seen with him :bolt:

Thanks for the article, Ronan :)
