not really... other then mark's contract with fila expired late last year... he hasnt made any comments about it to the media yet.

So I dont know why mark choose nike... but i do know alexis has done some promo for nike in the in the past, lol, she couldve been an influence?

im happy he's in nike - fila clothes were far too dull and plain for mark.

good news mark is playing at river oaks (in Huston) next week (april 3-9):http://www.riveroaksinternational.com/draw.htm Its a small clay tournament so hopefully mark can work his way through and get a possible 5 matches under his belt.

not sure if he has anything planned the following week, but April 17-23 mark has entered the XL bermuda challenger event. I think this is on the same time as monte carlo... but its still a clay tournament and great opportunity to get matches and confidence.

Hopefully mark sticks to this schedule!

i dont think so... mark really needs to string some matches together to help his confience. He is struggling to do that in the big events, so during the clay season id rather him play as many matches possible in small tournaments to get him ready for grass.

Xristos · 04-01-2006, 01:53 PM

so is he playing the french? or heading striaght to the grass?

flip_fan · 04-01-2006, 09:42 PM

he will definately play French Open if he stays healthy, he's just using smaller clay events to get some match fitness.

Xristos · 04-02-2006, 12:43 AM

Ok thanks. Then off to qweens club?

flip_fan · 04-02-2006, 04:08 AM

not sure about grass preparations yet... i assume, so. i just hope mark can get some points before wimbledon and not have to rely on a WC.

Xristos · 04-04-2006, 03:51 AM
