unfortunatly andrei lost...3/6 6/4 1/6...he was serving well in the 2d set...this is too sad...
we can still cheer for him anyway because he plays the double with pavel vizner
they have a bye so we'll have to wait to see him play
they will face clement/cermak or berdych/kiefer...
their draw anyway isn't easy at all since they are in the same part than the bryans!
let's hope they'll do well no matter what! best of luck guys!

[cc2monac]

next they'll face the n°1 bryan/bryan...it will be harder but they can do it! best of luck andrei!

ljubicic wrote those nice words about andrei on his blog

"I also had time to joke around with Andrei Pavel. I keep asking him: "How long am I going to keep seeing you around? I've had enough of you." He says: "Why do you want me to retire?" I've played him so many times I feel tired whenever I see him.
There are some guys you can't joke around with, but Andrei's not one of them. He's a nice guy and doesn't mind me kidding around. In all seriousness (in case he's reading this), I wish him a long career. He's been playing really well this year so he should keep playing on."

thank you ivan!! it's great to see andrei is not thinking about retiring...

Do you realise how happy that makes me? My 2 favourite players!! So it makes me really pleased to see Ljubo write such lovely words about Andrei

Thank you Ivan Andrei has been playing well this year! Much better than last year and he will actually get direct entry to the Australian Open for the first time in 3 years (I think) so I'm really pleased I don't have to go through the stress of watching him try to qualify again

[cc2monac]

that's true he has a beautiful year! we cannot forget about his final at umag!
maybe next year it will be a new title for our dear andrei! let's hope
if he is directly in a main draw of a GS this will make me realy happy anyway! he will be less tired and certainly will do great (if ha has a good draw...)
he still enjoy playing tennis and this can give him wings!

now let's go back to madrid...unfortunatly no miracle today...andrei and pavel lost to bryan/bryan though they realy gave a good fight in the 2d set
3/6 6/7...congrats anyway to our dear andrei!
I hope will soon see him on the court again!

pavel/vizner lost to madrid at double from bryan brothers in 2 sets : 3-6/6-7...

[cc2monac]

our dear andrei is back on the court! he is playing Lyon and will meet Simon in his first round
he is not playing the double (or it's just me who cannot see his name in the draw)
best of luck andrei! I hope he'll do great!

[Flower_Power]

good luck andrei in match with Simon in first round at Lyon

[cc2monac]

well I didn't like this draw and now I know why!
andrei lost 2/6 6/2 1/6
he was serving so great! 10 aces! but I guess simon was stonger...at least andrei saved him from a 6/0 in the 3rd set...

[Flower_Power]

oh..so bad! andrei lost today at simon with 2/6 6/2 1/6.

[cc2monac]

andrei is playing at Dnepropetrovsk
he first def. sluiter 6/3 6/1, then he def Zib 6/3 6/4
in his next round he will play dima tursunov...I love dima but haide andrei!

[cc2monac]

andrei lost to dima 6/2 3/6 2/6...hopefully I like dima!
