Pim Pim!

I just checked...when did Joachim get to be 27? I didn't realize he was that old. Seems like not that long ago he was dating Jaslyn Hewitt and was considered a teenage up and comer.

Baghs!

[Poowssnople]

Baghs!

Wow. I wasn't expecting a win let alone such a lopsided match. This might be his best win all year.

[bobibnoxx]

Wow. I wasn't expecting a win let alone such a lopsided match. This might be his best win all year.

AND he's on a big winning streak, having won a challenger last week. And he's only in Stockholm because Moscow didn't give him the WC he requested.

[Carfanate]

I'm disappointed but not surprised that Gulbis didn't give any interviews. When is the first time we can get a comment from him/his camp?
