[VolandriFan]

Hey everyone, I'm more or less a stranger in here now

Good schedule! He should get some air time down here too hopefully.

[gambit84]

at least I hope he will restart to play at his level

when I saw his forehand down the net I get so sad

[Ome]

You will never be a stranger to me, Paolo!

Can't wait for the season to begin! I'm hoping he'll look more "happy" on the court this year. Already stop obsessing over the rankings

Paulo plays doubles with Mario

If only this is a beauty contest...
