I was just on the Stutgart site. They have a few photos of Tati from '07 (I think) - that was the year she got to the finals, losing to Justine. It made me sad.

LOL, Patty Fans still live!

When we were at the USO last year, we caught Patty and ALG playing a doubles match, about 11:00 p.m. (against Nadia/Francesca). There was a group of girls in the stands who were relentless in their cheering on of Patty. It was kind of endearing. I'm sure Patty loved them for it.

**anderriter** · 04-27-2009, 09:19 PM

Haha, this should definitely be in the "Caption This" thread!!

OK, does it strike anyone else as just a bit, I don't know ... cavalier? ... to schedule only one match each in the main draws of singles & doubles on Monday?

They're indoors, so obviously they won't be rained out. Maybe the TD figured the Monday attendance would suck no matter who/how many were on the OOP? I know this event hasn't been on clay before ... were they late on shoveling in the red stuff?

Also, will the winner be driving a Porsche around the court as part of the trophy ceremony again?

Ajde JJ!

Wait, Stuttgart is now indoor clay? Sorry, I've only been folllowing the ATP the last few weeks

**slarceSelia** · 04-27-2009, 09:55 PM

What did you expect in the middle of the clay season?

**PyncGyncliacy** · 04-27-2009, 09:57 PM

What did you expect in the middle of the clay season?

Umm... OUTDOOR clay like everywhere else that's not Davis Cup in December in Moscow?

**slarceSelia** · 04-27-2009, 10:05 PM

Umm... OUTDOOR clay like everywhere else that's not Davis Cup in December in Moscow?

Are there facilities for that in Stuttgart?

It's the same tournament, draw size, sponsors, place etc. as last year only now it's in April instead of October and on clay instead of hard...

**soprofaxelbis** · 04-27-2009, 10:24 PM

It's a bizarre time of year for an indoor tournament...
