Bruno's a cutie

I really hope that he can win in straights tomorrow. Go Arnaud!!

Arnaud lost to Horna 3 and 2. I'm calling for a coaching change....

What is going on with him???????

[Marine]

Tout va bien....

When I'll go to RG, they (seb/arnaud)'ll be already out for a long time !

Same question I'm asking. I would suggest attitude issues but he seems to have an attitude even when he's winning. Lack of motivation for some strange reason?

thanks guys, i couldn't even find the score on those regular tennis sites. too unimportant...

maybe he's devoting himself to one and only one cause this year - davis cup. oh, and the olympics too. problem is, if one plays like sh!t the rest of the year, how does one find the right form at the right time ??

well since france isn't playing in the world team cup, i suppose the next stop for arnaud and seb is roland garros, right? lol....... arnaud has practically blown all his chances in each and every clay lead-up tourney this year

[Marine]

Arnaud and Seb played in double...they lost in the first round !!

Nono's going to need more than a papal blessing to do well at RG this year. He'll need an intervention from the Lord himself. I worry about him. I really do.

I'll post tomorrow something I read in l'equipe today about arnaud's spirit. Scaring...

[Marine]

L'equipe, yesterday:

Déboussolé par son manque de sensations, Arnaud Clément a réédité sa "performance" romaine, tant sur le fond (refus de tenir compte des contraintes de la terre battue) que sur la forme. Tete basse, bras ballants, il se focalisa une nouvelle fois sur le trvail des ramasseurs de balle...le sien ne fut pourtant pas exempt de reproches.
"Je ne sens absolument rien. C'est le néant absolu. Je ne sais absolument pas où la belle va aller, j'ai l'impression que le balle va être faute à chaque coup de raquette".
Son bilan 2004 en grand chelemen et en masters series se passe de commentaire: 6 matches, 6 défaites...
"Considérons que RG constitue le départ de ma saison...", trouva-til la force de plaisanter. Il lui reste 13 jours pour retrouver ses vertus guerrières et un peu d'humilité.



It's time to find again motivation !! RG is in 2 weeks !! If he plays as badly as he did in MC, Rome and Hamburg, the crowd won't be nice with him...

[esther]

ugh someone needs to do somethign about those two (arnaud and seb)...theyre not getting any younger and they arent goign to keep up their rankings if this continues!!!! I wanted arnaud to get back into the top 20 this year but maybe he doesnt deserve it

[michelleg]

As allergic as he is to Americans, I will still be cheering for him in Paris although I don't think that would mean much to him

Marine, when will you be at RG?

[Marine]

I answered you on MP.
No, he's not allergic to Americans. It's not because he doesn't want to live here he's allergic.

[michelleg]

<<will go back and check the messages>>

I was just kidding, I know he thinks of me as a flake I do feel horrible for him, don't know how he will find his self-confidence again. Such fatalism isn't good for the soul.

[michelleg]

just checked, Marine....nothing there...
