That's quite a tough draw.
I think Mahut was less effected by the Wimbledon match than Isner, as he's continued to play doubles as well.

I remember Nico wrote an email or something to him weeks ago,it's nice to know Isner wrote a mail to Nico now.I agree it's quite cute!

Good luck and be healthy.

And would like to see him focus on single this time!

Has Nico often dropped doubles when he played singles? I think he is a doubles specialist, after all. He should really be wrong to drop it.

Ebden beat Melzer in Brisbane, didn't he? Not the best draw, for sure.

again a long interview in lequipe today i made a capture but it small for the summary later

soulage · 08-26-2010, 06:41 PM

I'm a bit lazy to make a summary but quickly he has still a little pain in his back. he can't forget what's happened in Wimbldedon. He's in NY with his girlfriend. He's happy for all the good things in the carrer of Bennet recently he's not jalous. He would like to feel other great moments and of course touch the DC Team.

He beats easily Ebden and will face Ignatik

I♥PsY@Mus!c · 08-27-2010, 05:53 PM

67(4) 76(5) 62 against Ignatik
I was touched coz he saved a mp on his serve in the 2nd set!

Nicolas I love you,you're always a big fighter.

Never heard of Julio Silva,just win Nico!

soulage · 08-27-2010, 06:28 PM

it was tough if he saved a MP

. He said yesterday that after the first set his back is painful and it's more tough to do serve and volley.

What a legend

The only non-choking, all fighting French player

Just amazing.

One more step now, come on boy !

I♥PsY@Mus!c · 08-29-2010, 06:00 AM

My heart is like his serve in the final set,broken.

As usual,he struggled to hold serves but fought a lot.

Still not recover from injuries.He said he would play doubles with Arnaud and watch Isner's match.A bit crazy but understandable to play doubles imho.

soulage · 08-29-2010, 06:43 PM

He took a injury break at the end of second set for his back and his leg. They wrote earlier in the week that the MRI showed nothing that's why he plays but he's injured

His ranking reminds poor and he's not healthy. He's in the doubles draw with Arno and have a really tough draw with Mahesh Bhupathi & Max Mirnyi. Too much tough for the guys.

So sad. Is it true that he's scheduled to play St. Remy indoors next week?

I♥PsY@Mus!c · 08-30-2010, 03:22 PM

Don't know.

Maybe the injury is not major,but I'd rather him losing the doubles at US Open (10% chance to win tbh) and take some rest than keeping playing and getting injuries.

It's just very sad both players get too many injuries after the epic.

soulage · 08-30-2010, 03:55 PM

St Remy is outdoor and we'll see if he'll play but yes he was on the entry list. He said he was only able to serve at 60% and without his serve it's more tough. Indeed he was hoping the WC which have given him more time to be ready now he hopes some WC in the french tournaments which are coming next weeks.

Echoes · 08-31-2010, 11:25 AM

Thank you Soulage. I've read on the main section of this forum that St Remy was indoors, which seemed weird to me at this time of the year in Southern France.

For sure he at least deserves WC in the 3 French tournaments to come.

I also fear he's overdoing these days but on the other hand he's got the experience now and I take it that he knows what he's doing and where his limits lay.
