www.abnamrowtt.nl/ offical website of the tournament which starts today.
Even tough a lot of players have withdrawn (Roger Federer, Ivan Ljubicic, Marat Safin, Richard Gasquet, Martin Verkerk, Dominik Hrbaty, Gael Monfils,Rafael Nadal, Feliciano Lopez, Sébastien Grosjean, Sjeng Schalken and Marcos Baghdatis) I hope it´s going to be an interesting tournament.

Is there really anyone left, that is just pitiful.

DAVAI KOLYA!!!!!!!!!!! This is your chance for another tournament win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annie I had exactly the same thought![img src="http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys2/080402gudl_prv[1].gif"]

Paul Hanley looks to be the only Australian, He started his career almost the same time with Lleyton and yet Lleyton's star has just shone a little brighter.. I would like to see Paul do well but like Annie I am hoping that Davydenko does really well... I like his style have enjoyed watching his matches last year....Federer soooooo close but missed by that < > much.

[Annie]

Yeah I hope there will be no choking this time like in Marseille. I think Hanley is such an amazing doubles player, he also gave Kolya a hard time during AO . Good luck to all the players and even though withdrawals are unbelievable hope this will be a good tournament, especially considering how much effort Richard has put into it ;D

[Annie]

W. Moodie 3 7 3
G. Simon 6 6 6


R. Vik 3 5
G. Rusedski 6 7

When the top players withdraw it gives others a bit further down the rankings a bigger chance to have a good win or get more experience at a higher level than they would otherwise reach. I think that makes sense. i hope the audience comes to watch.

[Annie]

Kolya took the first set from Hernych 6:3!!!!!!! DAVAI KOLENKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
