Hehehe!! At least 1 of my faves will make the final

I saw only 2 completed matches today. I skipped the 2nd set of Gasquet actually. Really wasn´´t interested at all. The rain and the thunderstorms have troubled the afternoon. Delpo won of course, but after 2 interruptions. And believe me, rain interruptions aren´t great for spectators either

Hope for a better weather tomorrow. Calleri´s shoulder was still bothering him, but not enough to stop him from playing a good game, even if the serve hasn´´t 100% in my opinion.

Onto the reports now

Yes, I suppose you got the rain we had yesterday...

My recording fucked up this afternoon, so I don't have Calleri's match

Livestream was interrupted and the recording stopped and there was nothing to watch when I got home. Well, at least he won so that helped.

Soooo sweet

Nice pic Martine

I am off to read Choups write up. The "steak" hubby grilled
ended up being a cubed steak ( he bought it himself

) Had I known I would have told him NOT to marinate it for 72 hours

It tasted only of the marinade and basically fell apart

Poor guy. We ate a nice ceasar salad and garlic bread though

Thanks to Morningstar as well for the veggie burgers

Sara is growing very quickly and you can see how much Gordo loves her.

Choupi · 07-12-2008, 07:19 AM

Quick hello before I leave for the venue. It was raining this morning. Seems to have stopped now. Just hope this will stay that way. Conditions of play won´t be great as it´s only 20C°. But the courts will be heavy for sure.

Off for my last day at the venue

martine2 · 07-12-2008, 10:33 PM

Today's matches didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted.

I can live with Schwank losing from Delpo but Showpony winning...
Gasquet played a solid match but Gordo's shoulder was clearly hampering him. Hope he'll be ok or Kitzi.

Ceci and Sarita looking lovely and cheering for their hero

well, you can't always cheer, can you

Sometimes you need your beauty sleep...

cobalt60 · 07-12-2008, 10:50 PM

so cute. I loved my children's faces when they were sleeping.

I like JMP and Gasquet so toss up for me tomorrow. Let's hope it is a good final for both of them with high quality tennis.

Choupi · 07-13-2008, 08:34 AM

Yes, they look really cute, cheering for Agustin. Well, this is my last hello from Stuttgart. I´m waiting to catch my train and come back to my reality. It´s pouring down over here at the moment and the forecast isn´t good for the day. Kinda relieved I didn´t buy a ticket for the final.

Catch up with you all when I´m back home

**Action Jackson** · 07-13-2008, 08:49 AM

Glad you enjoyed your time in Stuttgart gnome.

Choupi · 07-14-2008, 07:47 AM

Well, I am back home. Need to go back to my usual rhythm. My usual routine some would say. I'm glad Delpo won yesterday. He had to.
Will upload the pictures later on. If they are ok, I will post some here and on various respective forums (Delpo, Calleri, Schwank, Chucho).

And I'm glad to read that the Magician Santoro still has magic in him and won Newport!!

glad 4 u choupi

i want

from here so much ppl need me for work...no holiday around

martine2 · 07-14-2008, 10:09 AM

Well, it's the "holiday" routine now choupi, so that's still a good one

Yes, I'm very glad too Delpo won yesterday. Like you said "he had to"

and even better that it's his first ATP title. I'm glad for him because it will feel really good after that tough tome with the back injury. Hope he stays fit now, but he looks so fragile with that long body of his

Looking forward to the pics!!

Choupi · 07-15-2008, 07:00 AM

The promised pics are on their way. Will post those of Chucho, Delpo, Calleri and Schwank on their forums. Will keep the King for this place
