What happened???!!! Juan Carlos retired at 2-1???!!!!
:sad:

Scotso · Feb 21, 2003

he rolled his ankle or something

Chloe le Bopper · Feb 21, 2003

*sigh*

To top it off, David is getting creamed in the third set of his match

Just not my day I guess

Hopefully he just turned it slightly, and it will be better in a few days. As opposed to a break.

Must be a very strange feeling, playing with your doubles partner and then facing him on the other side of the net on the same day. Hmm... Roger hasn't played a really big server yet during his winning streak, with the exception of Ljubicic who did after all retire after losing the first set in Marseille. So be on your guard, Rogi!

But the beauty of playing your doubles partner, on the other hand, is you know their game, you know how they play. So it might be in Roger's favor if he knows Max's weaknesses

Will make for a rather awkward doubles match afterwards, maybe, but nonetheless.

Congrats on the win, Max. Zhenya's no pushover on indoor courts (LOL, I think we've said that about almost everyone who's lost

)

hopefully it's not serious

Escude vs Grosjean 7-5

Nymeria · Feb 21, 2003

I don't like Raemon reach semifinals this way :sad:

The tournament site said Juan Carlos will be out for a few weeks :sad:

Sjengster · Feb 21, 2003

Geez Louise, Grosjean served for the second set just a moment ago, only to let himself be broken right back - now Escude leads 6-5 in the second and "Seb" is serving to stay in the match. He does have a habit of letting these chances slip away from him, doesn't he?

marra horra · Feb 21, 2003

but now the second set was taken in a tense breaker...A decider like last year... so who will play sluiter/????

Marilyn · Feb 21, 2003

Nico retired :sad:

Sjengster · Feb 21, 2003

To lose the top seed and the defending champion both through retirements on the same day is an awful blow for the tournament, and the winner's victory is going to feel rather hollow with all the good fortune that they have received. Still, Nicolas' winning run had to end some time, I suppose.
