I hope, this thread will be one of the most popular))
Anyway, Good luck for Henry...This season will show his really ability.
I saw only his Wimbledon's final. The game was quite equal, but Dimitrov already is about 500. This fact gives me hope for bright future.

P.S. It will be great to see finnish doubles (Kontinen - Nieminen) in Tour. Do you know any similar examples at high level?

That's a shame. Not a great time for it to happen to him either.

you're right but I mean a guy like Berankis is top 100 already, so he automatically gets main draw entries,so it's a lot tougher for Henri to break into the top. Djokovic who is not a super talented player at 20 he played us open final. I really hope Kontinen breaks into top 100 by the end of this year.

Henkka won 61 62 against Dupuis. Nice win against a decent opponent. Next up the winner of Slabinsky vs Trinker.

It will be Trinker, he already won, but for some reason they don't have it result ITFsite nor tournamentsite.
