Re: Message for Lindsayfan
Poor Luczak. Now if Monfils does not get it it would really suck.
By the way Lindsayfan, for me Geneva is not that great (I live in Vaud), too liberal & small for me. I actually have swiss nationality but am a citizen of the world. Jim Jones is not my real name & I'm not american. I like Pickwicks bar though & I'm there time to time throwing darts or watching a good soccer game. I don't drink much though. I like Switzerland & Europe but prefer U.S. Both Bush & Kerry are nort as liberal as in Europe and that suits me fine. However I can't stand that clown Howard Dean. But that's not tennis so I will leave it there.

Re: Roland Garros
I hope one of my junior boys gets a wildcard......gael is probably the most deserving at the moment.....but it would be nicee if josselin or jo got one too. probably not likely.

Re: Roland Garros
Why thank you, I'm glad you appreciate my message. No, seriously, I said that because European media keeps criticizing U.S. for being conservative, as if that's a crime. Many in the media call Bush ultra-conservative when he's actually a moderate. If he's ultra-conservative then what is Pat Buchanan? Europe should stop treating U.S. as if its still its colony & realize that both societies are different. U.S. on other hand should act multilateral in foreign affairs as in Iraq & that's why I like Kerry and hope he wins the elections. I actually don't have anything against liberals, I just wanted to criticize liberals as they criticize conservatives. I'm not really conservative-I'm middle-ground just like a majority of Americans. I'm European though and proud of it too. I apologize to tennis fans for talking politics. Federer will win Roland-Garros. Allez 'Rodgeur!'

Re: Roland Garros
really? (the tennis part) lol... the outcome of the hamburg final will be interesting. but if federer gets up for RG he does have more maturity i think than coria to win it.
not that aussies have any interest in RG... lol.. just look at poor struggling hewitt. do the french have any interest, btw??? *sigh*........
forgive my ignorance... does richard need a wildcard?

Re: Roland Garros
had entry ranking been taken for RG in the last week...then Richard would have needed a WC...but since they were done a few weeks ago, he doesnt. which is good.
He will be ranked about 96 for RG. i think
