Hi Everyone
I feel like I have fallen off the Tennis Circle a bit recently (sorry) - trying to climb back on... I didnt even realise it was US Open!!!! - SHOCK!
Now - normality is returning I have one thing to say
Way to Go - Team Tandil 2!!
1 Men's Doubles - 3rd Rnd.
Maximo Gonzalez (ARG)/Juan Monaco (ARG)
def Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)[4]/Mark Knowles (BAH)[4]
2-6 6-4 6-4
What a result!! - hope they keep going nicely...

Yes this is a big win, even though I would have preferred it to be over Nestor. Also, what about Del Potro and Fish they are both playing great. (sorry for the edit Greg - but listing email addresses and availability on Social Networking sites isnt really approved of on Public Message boards - you never know who may pick up the info - Sorry Mate  ) |

You didn't realize it was US Open? Oh, that's bad I really enjoy to come home after work in the evenings and watch tennis on tv (yes, we finally have tennis coverage on Eurosport!!! , doesn't happen very often). Team Tandil 2 is doing very, very well, I am impressed, especially after Juan's big disappointment in singles competition Semifinal!! WOW! I hope Mancini will take this great performance into account for chosing his DC team for the semifinal against Russia. |

Team Tandil 2 played a great consistent throughout, great to see the team working hard - it was a very serious match - at the end, the commentators said...

Monaco never plays well in Grand Slams That's not really true, I remember Juan playing a great match against Djokovic at US Open last year, it was in the 4th round and Juan played very well. It was not surprising Juan didn't play his best tournament this year in NY, as he was out of action for 6 weeks this summer and lacks practice and match practice. But I am sure he will be back strong. And the doubles success will help him, too. Mancini didn't choose Juan for the DC team, which I do not really understand  But, there will be a final and this is another chance for Juan to be in the team |

As soon as I posted that i wish I didn't say that, as I remembered that match last year with Nole. This year hasn't been good in Grand Slams though, right?
