Awww, suck! I've just put together my Green Acres team and Hewitt and Federer meet in the first round.

Wow. This was last year's final, no? And is either guy actually prepared to play?

[addisonnicogel]

Wow. This was last year's final, no? And is either guy actually prepared to play?

Hewitt played doubles today with Luczak and won while Federer is questionable.

[Nosmas]

Haas (maybe) in the second, then Philip (another recent final there) could be after that.

Too bad the grass "season" is so short.

[Azzi_Kahlila]

Federer's out

[clapsoewmred]

Federer's out

The way he said it is pretty funny

...I am very disappointed as its one of my absolute favorite tournaments on the ATP Tour, but my body, especially my groin, really needs a rest...

[Nosmas]

Huh. I thought there was an arrangement with this tournament. Thought he'd make an appearance.

It'll be tricky to go into Wimbledon cold.

Yes, but this is not the first year he is skipping it. Also Roger has won the title twice without playing any grass warm-up tournaments...

[Romobencience]

The way he said is pretty funny

From the way Rafa was dragging him along by the...?

Dustin Brown and Gael Monfils. Nice partnership.

[electmobile]

Dustin Brown and Gael Monfils. Nice partnership.

That's a LOT of hair for one court. Good things there's so little chance of them playing Dolgopolov in the next round.

[Evsltkzl]

Berdych was able to fight off three set points in the TB to force a third set against Bemelmans. IMO, the qualifier has actually played very well, and although Berdych hasn't been very sharp, definitely appears to care and has looked aggressive coming to net. Hopefully it will be a good third set too, but Berdych hasn't been able to break yet.
