Nice, where do you have this from? I'll probably go on both days of qualies

Tournament website is the worst I've ever seen, and it's the same crap since years....a real disgrace for such a tournament

[Filipo]

Grigor told this to Bulgarian TV. He took an award for best player in July. He was commenting about his Madrid qualies and didn't miss to say about Basel, as Roger is his favourite player
