I always remember Yen-Hsun Lu as he beat Andy at the last Olympics in the first round. He also beat Roddick at Wimbledon last year so on his day he's capable of playing some really good tennis.harriet wrote:and gilles simon has finally won thru, after 3 hours . he beat yen-hsun Lu
6-7, 7-5, 6-4.
TPE is Chinese Taipei, Taiwan, the island formerly known as Formosa.
political status of the island is unclear, but it is an industrial powerhouse, Taiwan is an Asian Tiger economically.

I must confess - Gilles Simon is one of the players whom I support after Andy. I felt so sorry for him this Aussie Open, when battling Federer. He played his heart out, and yet he lost. Plus, Andy Murray always beats him. In other words, a player I can afford to like.

Yes, and this reinforces how lucky the Thailand Open is to get a top four player.Linda wrote:Interesting post, David. Of course the top players are not interested in 250s, unless they are necessary practice for Slams (as Rafa has said that Queens is for Wimbly). The other interesting thing, for the top players at least, is the 500s. Rafa chose to take a zero pointer last year rather than play 4 500s and he and others may well end up doing the same this year. If they could choose 4 tournaments from either 500s or 250s rather than all from 500s I think that would suit them better, and you might see more top players in 250s.
