This Emily Travers woman is so blatant about it all!

I think it would have been only appropriate if Fernando had returned the offer.

Sadly Tommy Robredo has withdrawn from the Heineken Open-we always enjoy having Tommy here and wish him better health in 2012!

HRBATY, Dominik SVK vs [5] RIBA, Pere ESP

Hrbaty, of the infamous scapulated shirt at the Australian Open a few years back, hasn't played any main-draw singles in a few years. Watching on-line, I noticed he was also doing some commentary for the WTA tournament last week.

[papadopul]

Hrbaty commented last week that he wished he could get a WC for the Heineken and play in the beautiful new facility - as it is, he lost in the second round of the qualies.

[mylittlejewelaa]

Arghhh, SkySport host just said we were lucky to have Justin Gimelstob commentating!
