Pörtschach on the Wörthersee is a nice and ritzy place and one of the more scenic on the ATP tour, too bad it has the arsehole Ronnie Leitgeb as the Tournament director, can’t have it all.
It’s always a strange thing the week before a Slam and no one really knows what will happen during the event, who needs the matches and who really wants to win the event and there are some strange results that go on and more retirements than usual.
The PMK loves this event and will try and win it for the 3rd time in a row and it would be good if Lapentti could take him out in the 2nd round, it’s a great match up for Nico, but he has no matches.
Hewitt comes back after a big effort in Hamburg and still needs matches and he plays Escopeta Roitman who needs wins and the winner plays the in form Starace who defeated El Fashionista Koubek and all of Stef’s friends will be sad, but they can party at the casino.
Lucho thumped Dolgopolov 6-3 6-0 and he is a guy who needs a lot of match play to play his best tennis, it’s just the way he is and now he plays baldy Ljubicic. It was good that Seppi didn’t qualify as I would have lost one or the other in this round and also Seppi has his mind on the Champs League.
Roddick decides to turn up and realises that defeating a poor Gaudio, Peya and playing Pless in the next round who defeated Berlocq the clown is a serious preparation. If Roddick makes the 2nd week of Roland Garros they should celebrate very hard.
Good to see big Mike get a win over Vassallo Arguello and he is in a tough section of the draw in other words the section that Roddick isn’t in.
A cheerio to a friend of mine who has had some problems, but he is back working and he is at the event in Pörtschach and can’t wait to catch up again.

Lucho wins 2 matches in a row again and he beat the baldy Ljubo in straight sets. He should make the semis here.
Düsseldorf was hilarious in a bad way with Calleri losing to Blake. He started off well and then got a blister and was poor and Blake won cause he sucked less.
Chucho had some stomach bug and it looked like at as well. He looked more stoned and asleep as ever, but no way he was losing to Fish.
Gonzo and Toad that was quite an intense match before the rain. The Toad had his chances to take it in 2, but he went on self destruct and that's not a surprise.
Thanks for the news. You know I can't watch so I appreciate. Better that Chucho gets the stomach bug this week than next week.
Monfils played some good tennis and showed how inept Roddick is on clay, just kept rallying and then Duck would either miss or Monfils would hit an excellent dropshot. The gulf in class was clear.
Monaco played some good tennis against PMK, who loves this event and is shattered for sure, hehe. Now he plays his mate Horna.
Acasuso played some very good tennis against Massu, hope it is a sign of things to come.
