I hope noone withdraws from Rotterdam! QF opportunities look awesome

[Sniliabiz]

Hope Grigor shows some of his potential against Berdych, though doubt he can take a set. Grigor was playing a Futures tournament in Florida during the AO and so did not play juniors there. He lost in the semis in the singles of the Futures tournament but won the doubles.

By the way, I have no idea why the newspaper, Sofia Echo, says the following:
Bulgaria’s best male tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has a good chance of meeting world number one and current Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal in the second round of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament. http://www.sofiaecho.com/2009/02/07/...l-in-rotterdam
