That's like doing a scrubby Wimby & RG, back to back.

I'll be impressed if he even wins a match in Sweden. Even if he loses tomorrow, and gets a flight out Sunday, the shortest flights from Boston to Copenhagen (Bastad is much closer to the Denmark border than it is to Stockholm ... no WONDER Caro plays there) is 9+ hours (many are 11+). Add a 6-hour time difference and a surface change and ... he might make enough from a 1st-round loss to cover his airfare. And if he loses 1R, he doesn't even get any ranking points.

But, he ain't gonna make 4000+ Euros most weeks, so he might as well.

Puts the life of the scrubs in perspective ...

His first match won't be until Wednesday, so he'll be ok. I think he's more concerned that it's on slow clay than about the jetlag.
