Already played DC for Finland.
Won 1 future in doubles and was 2x runner up.
If anyone's interested (I know Sombrerero will like this ) here's a vid of Henkka playing a challenge match against two professional Finnish snowboarders, Henkka is playing with a frying pan though . Henkka won the match, 6-4 6-2. http://vimeo.com/72457691
After the match, they ask Henkka about his plans. He says he's focusing on doubles for now and will start playing singles when/if the knee can handle it. If he can't handle it physically, he'll focus on doubles. He says his dream is to win a GS one day, either in singles or in doubles.
he uis only 10 spots away from his high career ranking in doubles. he will improve it pretty soon probably =D (maybe even with the 10 points he got this week from 15k+H semifinals in italy)
playing with siljestrom this week in como, good luck
he is still testing but he doesnt have a date where he can play singles again, yeah, maybe he wont be able to play again(but lets just not think about it please...), but at least he is playing doubles...i just hope he can keep playing tennis, its amazing watching him on the tour week after week again...
Well, okayish Season start from Henri... (surprised not to see Sombrerero post this), in Sao Paulo Challenger (doubles only).
played with the Swede Siljestrom, won R1 match against Bagnis/Trungelliti, but lost QF against Estrella/Barrientos
yeah posted it on challenger subforum this thread doesnt get many messages besides mine sadly, so i dont really post here too much =(
