He's already in Montreal, so it looks like he's really back this time.

His schedule: Montreal and Cincy + USO

Some news in L'Equipe today:
http://www.lequipe.fr/Tennis/breves2...de-retour.html
He's been training 5-6 hours a day lately. The article mentions the wrist and the knee again, but Chamagne (his condition trainer) says that he should be fine judging by how he's been hitting the ball in the past few days.

Rasheed is there too, it's been one year now since they started working together, it must be a record for Gaël!

Thanks ! I like the description "flashy Frenchman"

a nice way to say that he's got no clue when it comes to colours. Orange and blue, Gael ?

Ils se sont bien trouvés en effet. Ca me plait

Difficult Draw

. Well at least I would be happy with either winner

Truc · 08-09-2009, 07:35 PM

First match of the night session tomorrow (7pm, that's 1am in France).

Tess Gray · 08-10-2009, 10:31 AM

1am?

I might stay up for that... If I have nothing else to do, like sleeping

Is anyone else here going to watch, because I'm not going to watch by myself, that's boring

amdany · 08-10-2009, 03:31 PM

trust me, I 'd loooooooove to stay up with you but I've to get up a 5 am to go to work

, I'm so gutted

Puschkin · 08-10-2009, 11:41 PM

Nobody around?

Truc · 08-10-2009, 11:54 PM

I'm watching, but I'm also watching Petzsche + working, so posting at the same time would really be too much asked.

Marat decided to play with handicap and to give Gaël a 4-0 lead in the 1st set.

Tess Gray · 08-11-2009, 12:03 AM

I'm also watching!

I didnt actually expect anybody to be here so I didn't even check.
