Vienna !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(One can hope at least) Gael is on the ontry list (as of today).

I just hope he stays injury-free. That horrid elbow acted up this time last year.

You should change your avatar, Margareta. If you like one of the two of them so much, you could always use the Wimby or Toronto one.

But I have not found such a nice pic of either Wimby or Toronto. I#ll wait for the US Open one

I'm so happy he plays Metz one more time.

I hope I will be able to go there as i did last year...

Richard is on the Vienna's entry list (but Gael will be in Moscow).

He won't be able to play in all these tournaments

We can also add Madrid, Lyon and Paris.

Vienna added

I won't add the rest yet in case it jinxes him

This is great news. Thanks I was just about to get tickets for Thursday and Saturday, but now I might take an earlier day too.

BTW: what is your source? The tourney website (http://www.ba-ca-tennistrophy.at/en/...ml?mn=5&sm=5-0) does not mention it, but still has Monfils on the list. I just hope for my compatriots, that they did not confuse the two

Vialator · 08-30-2006, 12:46 PM

My source is just mtf in the tournaments forum.
But confuse Richard and Gaël , almost everything oppose them...

And I still can't believe that Richard has scheduled to play 7 tournaments in two months.

silverwhite · 08-30-2006, 01:18 PM

I bet he's going to pull out of a few

For Margareta's sake, I hope Vienna isn't one of them

I know, but maybe Vienna's tourney webbies don't.

Explanation number 1:If you want to go to Shanghai, you have to try hard.

Explanation number 2: if he continues the pattern winner/finalist- lose in round 1, some of them won't be too demanding

I'm beginning to wonder if Frenchies have pressure on them to play it since they must make it live etc..., it's the "newly" retreated Julien Boutter who's managing this relatively new tournament etc...etc...

That's probably one part of the story. On the other hand, players might also like to play their home tourneys with family and friends around, supportive crowds, where they know the language and the culture, and remember their dreams as kids, though I hope that Richie dreamt of other French tourneys than Metz
