Metz is in several days and I hope Arnaud will finally show up. And some his countrymates will do it as well...
As for me, I have more "why" questions. I can understand Seb: which tennis can be on his mind when there is a bench of children at home... But I thought Arnaud is not a father yet and he could came back to top30 playing just a little bit more often. Or maybe couldn't

lol But he has a strange strategy anyway.
Marc Gicquel told he's decided to have a pause between US Open and Metz because he wanted to be fresher for the last part of the season and though that's not so good for him to play on clay and then be back on hard again. Maybe that's a sort of clue to the mystery of this Arnaud's vacation?
