How far through this off-season odyssey are we?

[The Bulldog]

There are twenty weeks in the calendar and we're only in week six. So not very far is the answer.

True, but I'm planning on having two tournaments at a time (aside from major tournaments), so it'll go way faster.
And we'll use a google document, for more clarity. If you're ok with that.

Carlita is fangirling because of that hopman cup thingie

[tedlesurfeur]

Meh, Ivanovic looked so solid throughout the whole week, I watched her match against Malek, and she's won that 60 61, she was soooo alove her opponent. I thought she'd have the confidence... but no, nerves crawled back into her mind

And then Spaniards are excellent double players, so there we go... well done Spain.

By the way, just a quick notification :

Only enlist 2 players per tournaments.
Carlita, Scoobs, Duncan, you haven't enlisted anyone for Bahia Blanca and Alexandria.

Time for a little review of the grass court season

The tennis gazette

Who were the best GRASS COURT SEASON players?


#1 - Sabatini
A quartefinal in Mandana was the only significant result the Argentine had before her triumph in Fort McMurray and her first cosy café grand slam.


#2 - Federer
We know the swiss loves to play in Germany. By reaching the final in Münster (surprisingly stopped by Berankis), his confidence increased and two weeks later, he would reach his first grand slam final.


#3 - Graf
They all say the top players show their best at major events, and Graf proved that by making the grass court grand slam semifinals in Fort McMurray.


#4 - Kohlschreiber
After a huge disappointment on home soil (lost first round in Münster), the German no.1 regrouped and worked hard to reach his first grand slam semis too.


#5 - Youzhny
Winning the Masters 500 title in Stonehaven propeled the Russian in good position, but he unfortunately lost in the first round of the grass court grand slam.

-----

Other significant results


Andy Murray won the title in Port Elizabeth, defeating Radwasnka in the final. A second round loss at the grand slam was disappointing for the Scot but he is looking forward to the rest of the year.


Carlos Moya won his first grass court title in Mandana, India, beating Edberg in a thrilling final.

Mary Pierce had a nice semifinal run in Port Elizabeth, and confirmed her form by reaching grand slam quarterfinals in Fort McMurray...
...so did Mecir. Before his quarterfinal show in Canadan, Mecir had reached the semis in Stonehaven.


Berankis won the title in Münster

I'm not sure he even was there for the grass court season as you arrived late
