Die blogs zijn echt een leuk initiatief van de ATP. Hier een paar quotes van Tommy Robredo, die het komende week in Hamburg doet:
"I also was surprised to see a text message from Mahesh Bhupathi, one of the world's best doubles players: Hey Tommy, do you want to play doubles with me in Hamburg? I've lost in the first round of doubles about 10 times in a row so I wasn't sure if he was drunk. Maybe he just wanted the first-round prize money. Anyway, I had already arranged to play with David Ferrer so I had to say no."
"Thankfully my courtesy car driver was still waiting for me at the airport. We had to walk a little way to the garage where the car was parked. We took the elevator to the fifth floor before the driver realized the car was on the fourth floor. So we went to the fourth floor and then she said it was actually on the third floor. When we eventually found the car it was on the second floor."
"I warmed up with Juan at 10.30 and then practiced with Guillermo Coria. It was just a half hour hit and we were sharing a court with two other guys who had a match coming up. Then we played some games. He was leading 5-2 when we stopped. But that's okay..."
"I had a practice with Nicolas Kiefer. We just warmed up for five minutes and then played some games. It was 5-4 with no breaks when we had to stop because Safin and Gaudio had the court."
Uit die laatste twee quotes blijkt wel dat hij nog steeds niet echt in vorm is. Als je 5-2 achter staat tegen Coria, die 2 dubbele fouten slaat per game en Kiefer niet breakt in 4 games op gravel... Maar ja, het is maar training, zullen we maar zeggen.

Feyenoord? Het enige dat ik van Feyenoord weet, is dat ze uit het land van Ajax komen - Fabio Capello
