After the 2nd round of Queen's:

Good to regain some form. Long may it continue. Disappointing to see Heaf go out, though.

That's treason these days.

 

[Jarquis]

Nor sure whether giving Queens a go is the best thing? More likely to go deep in the Challenger, surely?
Sod it.. do it.

Totally up to you. Probs more chances of winning games in Nottingham, but with the right draw at Queen's you might do OK.

When is the next Champions Tour event? Count me in. I'll partner Jason Stoltenberg in the doubles and Amanda Coetzer in the mixed.

You keep your greasy paws off Amanda Coetzer.

You can have Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.

 

[benchmark00]

Nah ****, if Coetzer is unavailable I'll pair up with Mary Pierce.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

She's unavailable, too.

 

[Jarquis]

Will go Notts in the hope to get more than a handful of sets in on grass.

*Cue Round 1 exit*

 

[benchmark00]

She's unavailable, too.

You're too busy trying to hook into Nicole Pratt

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Listen ****, I run this competition so you will take Conchita Martinez and be happy with it.
