I finally got to open a thread!


Happy posting everyone


Let's hope that this thread here moves a little faster than the last one and PLEASE let the reason be Andy winning his next titles

new Maria icons


Hey, maybe we should also start a Maria thread

I'm just realizing now that the banner blinks a little. And yay! for Jeb getting to start the new thread.

I'm trying out a new strategy. If I regularly expect him to under-perform instead of expecting him to do well, I thinking maybe he'll reverse surprise me.

How very nice of you! Okay, so WHO THE ******* IS Trace Davis?! [<-- HA! potential new thread title?... uh, no, that's mean!]
I found a Tres Davis, who played some junior doubles with Andy and plays the occasional futures, so I'm thinking they just screwed up the name. This is what he looks like (or looked like a few years ago):



Here's another one of Tres.

I don't know why our Andy is doing this, but him playing some doubles is a great opportunity for him to work on his net game on clay. And if playing with his buddy lets him have some real relaxed fun out there on court, even better.

ETA: I snagged one of your Maria avs, Jeb! Maybe we should consider a thread for her at some point, since there seems to be enough love for her on her own between us all.

Yes, it's blinking! I plan on making a new one... but not too soon because I want him to wear LACOSTE clothes in the pictures

You know, that could work out because I did the exact same thing today! I was watching a handball game with some of my friends and my favorite team won They played horrible the in the first part of the game and then I was just like "Pft, if they don't want that stupid cup... whatever..." and then they won

click

Here's another one of Tres.
He looks like my neighbor But yeah, it's a good thing for Andy to play doubles again since it maybe helps him to get used to the court (clay) again.

I noticed We should really start a thread for her. I mean, I could make a banner ... Would you like to start it? [<-- since I already started this one here]

Hm, I should change my avatar in order to do a little Maria promotion

So, is there anything new on the Houston schedule?

ITA, he can definitely improve on his clay game and have fun at the same time out there. Let's hope they won't lose in the first round so he can get some more "practice".

Welcome! Yes, Andy/Tres are playing Mardy/James in the first round. I won't be able to the tourney on TV! I didn't know Andre was playing doubles but good luck to him if he will!

jameslover! Welcome to the thread!

I'm UL/Bianca and if I ever seem a little too hard on our Andy, it's really just because I care too much for my own sanity.

I'll start it tomorrow.

Semi-yuck to Andy/Tres playing Mardy/James. That's almost a certain beatdown since M/J play together regularly, but at the same time, anything that gets Andy to work on his net game on clay is all good and they should all have a blast playing one another.

Look how pretty the place where they're playing is.

jameslover725 Welcome to our thread! It's always nice to see some new ...uh, faces (?) around here!

Thanks for bringing over the info maita I'll add it to the opening post! I also added some links as well as his tourney schedule

I couldn't agree more with you! It's just important for him to have some practice after such a long "break". It's such a pity that he didn't play Monte Carlo. Seeing it now, I think he actually would have had a real chance there

Quote:

WOW! Now, that looks like one of those tennis clubs where people spend their holidays

Quote:
The U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships are returning to Westside Tennis Club in Houston, Texas April 18 – 24 for another year of history making tennis.

Tennis Players returning are:

2004 Defending Champion
Tommy Haas

Two Time Defending Champion
Andy Roddick


2003 Champion
Andre Agassi
I hope Andy will do everything and make it "Three Time Defending Champion" *sigh* but I know that Tommy will do anything to stop him from doing that And here I am once again... the old story: Andy vs Tommy *GAH*

Can't wait! Oh, but I haven't made a banner yet I will make one some time this week [ since my plans have changed... I'll be stuck here instead of visiting my friends ]

Me too. The first time I knew Andy was when he was dating Mandy Not that I'm a fan of Mandy but my friend is so.. Then, I started to watch him play and he was really good. That was 2002 and he was on his way up that time. And then, now I'm here- such a big fan!

I think I first really 'heard' of him after Houston in 2001, when someone told me about how he had bought everyone who stayed through to the end of his repeatedly rain-delayed/interrupted match tickets for another day.

I wasn't like uber-fan initially after that, but I was like that 'That guy's cool... I hope he makes it'.

There's an article on the ATP site about how next year Houston will probably be before Monte Carlo... so now Andy won't have any excuse (barring injury ::throws salt:: ) to not play it.

And I need to say it: The official site for Houston is LAME. Not even set-by-set live scoring. Some matches will be on TTC starting Wednesday, but still. What am I supposed to stare at while I should be doing work in my cube this week?

Don't these people think about ME?



ETA: Masha's thread is opened, those of us who wanted one.

I hope you're right about that! I don't even want to think of where this Gasquet guy was ranked before he beat Federer

I agree! That site really sucks! And nope, these people don't EVER think about us... hm, maybe we're doomed Anyhow, I only hope that I'll be able to check the results tomorrow morning before I leave for work because if I won't it'll be a horrible 9-3 day

I've never heard of that... but this is so Andy! Very cool!

I just realized Houston's going to be the last tournament for the trucker hat. The one article of Reebok clothing that I'm truly going to miss.

Quote:

Thanks for the info. I couldn't find the exact times of the matches... and IA, he really should have no trouble whatsoever (even if like the clay comes to life and attacks him mid-match) against this Boeker dude.

Anyway, Puerta (who I was really worried about Andy potentially playing) lost yesterday. And Ginepri beat Mardy, so when (not if) Andy beats this 175th ranked player in the world, he should probably have another match that will help him ease in to coming back from his wrist injury/playing on this surface.
