The official schedule :

Juin :

> Gerry Weber Open (Halle) – Du 8 au 14 Juin

> Wimbledon (Londres) – 22 Juin au 6 Juillet

So he chose Halle as his only grass tournament before wimbledon. Sorry for his english fans next to the queens :)sad:).

Federer is doing Halle too every year, isn't it ?

Whatever, we have many hopes for this grass season :D

Many thanks MacArthur for posting his grass/clay schedules. The clay season is quite packed, and I pray that he will stay healthy until the grass season.

I know I keep on harping about Jo's potential on grass. That's because this is a surface that few of the active players can dominate. Federer was king for a long time, and ironically Nadal has achieved supremacy there.

Jo has the perfect kind of game for grass: the powerful serve, sublime volley techniques, huge forehands and speed of movement. He had an impressive run to 4th round in 2007, at a time when his game was still quite erratic and inconsistent. Now that his game has improved ten-fold from his 2007 form, it's fascinating to see how far he can achieve on that surface.

Wow, that's a very tough quarter he got :eek: If he comes through it to the semi, that would be a good performance.

:D I actually picked Jo to win Halle in FITD this week! Though I wildly predicted Kohlschreiber would beat Federer. :haha:
Allez Jo!
