herc, thanks for posting that cafe picture on the main page! I do think the size is still a bit too big - should be half the size. I also noticed all the people in that cafe are all old! OMG lol. I really like old people but my cafe should reflect the youth. Oh well.
And thanks for Andy's pictures. All on clay. There's something so ironic about that. I now for a fact he doesn't like playing on clay all that much. Not only his movement is slightly compromised but also, he doesn't' have any true desire for it. I mean if he had he would have played some small tourney at least in his early years and could have won a few. But now that both RG and Wimbledon are so back to back and he's so keen on grass, I doubt he'll give too much effort come RG. Perhaps later in his years when he'll enough grass titles, he might want to give it a shot...like Sampras did in 1996. Wimbledon was so precious to Sampras that he'd never pay much attention to RG. If possible he would have skipped it but then there's this overall ranking points involved and he needed to make a decent appearance there without taking much injury risk just before Wimbledon. He also cared about the #1 ranking a great deal so that was a factor.
we will try to fix it tomorrow emma.
still andy needs to spend time on clay to develop further and maintain his awesome ground game. a couple of years ago he had nole on the ropes in rome.
andy can play well on clay. its just a very demanding surface and his back has been bothering him for at least a couple of years now.
