I kinda feel sorry for Christophe... he looked so desperate when he sat down after the 2nd set

[amdany]

yep poor Chris...

[krn81]

this match will be short for him, he can be fresh for the match against del poltro

Hello everyone,

I don't know where to post this so I'm posting here.

I was looking around in Jo's official website and I came across a Tropicana ad. It turns out, Jo is the new Tropicana ambassador. On the Tropicana website there is a little quiz which gives you a possibility of meeting Jo in person.
this is the link: http://www.tropicana.fr

You have to be able to understand written french and give them your email address and name to participate. I guess you also have to be able to get to Paris if you happen to win.

There is also a mini website about Jo an interview and excerpts from the Canal+ Musketeers feature.

At the end of the interview he says that every morning he drinks a glass of Tropicana fruit juice. His favorite is the orange juice with a lot of pulp (I am wildly guessing pulpe en brique means a lot of pulp, I am too sleepy to look it up)

Thanks Bashak ! you should try for myself I have no idea about for how long Tropicana was the official sponsor of Roland


I'm very impatient to get to that Jo/Delpo match on Monday. If he gets past him, he has an excellent chance to get to the semis as well now that Djokovic is out and it's either Robredo or Kohlschreiber next. But one match at the time, since Delpo is extremely dangerous. Still I can't help but dream

I tried! I picked the earliest year from the options, it has got to be the earliest for image and PR purposes

I am not very optimistic about Del Potro match mainly because Jo has lost (both tiebreaks but still in straight sets) to him last time they played and that was a indoor hard court Del Potro will be coming to the match thinking "I've already beaten this guy, sure I can do it again." But this is France -not China- and who knows what will happen with major crowd support?

Yes, I am.
I really hate this decision, it's ridiculous.

[I Love Tsonga]

Can I ask you where you live in Kazakhstan? (I did a huge project on Kazakhstan a few months back, so all of a sudden Im really interested in anything that has to do with it)

I think it's weird that a lot of Russian players changed their nationality to Kazakh, but I guess I can understand it. Plus they have been pretty succesfull in the last few months

Atyrau.

I understand why they agreed, tennis is expensive, and as I heard Shukin (or Kukuskin? One of them) was ready to retire because of lack of money, so Kazakhstan's offer prolonged his career.
