vamos general Herc and general Shank  :)). when it comes to RG.... nothing new I hope Djok, Rafa, Murray and Fed I guess. the rest of the field is too weak. I mean I wouldn't mind to see some youngsters there but I doubt it.

shank, as for gray goose, it's like $40 $45 $CAN I think. it really has a unique taste. it's very sophisticated.  When I worked at my previous job we used to have some conferences in Whistler, and they served it there. oh boy, good old time...  :)

Dallas will probably ban us all because we talk about alcohol on the tennis board. She is a decent Christian lady and she probably doesn't drink  :rofl_2:

Falc, I was there almost every year since 2005... it was all payed by the company I used to worked with ... beautiful place... great restaurants, but the biggest thing is how beautiful nature is ...you wouldn't believe it.  I hope you get to see Canada one day. unbelievable nature like really... If you ever come to visit don't go to cities... go to Banff or Lake Louise or Kananaskis. I go to camp every year with a friend of mine to Kanaskis... it's nice during the day time but it gets brutal hold during the night.

Lendl says
 
If I worked with Murray in Rome on clay,that's only one week before the French and we're not going to be able to do anything. If I go with him to Monte Carlo then we have five weeks to work on stuff.If I see there is something that needs work or needs improving then we have time.It might be a little different to the usual system but that's never stopped me before.

I truly believe that Ivan will help out Murray. It does make me happy that Lendl took Murray under his wing and I can only hope that Murray listens and try to be patient. as I said they are very similar in a way. Lendl won his first slam when he was 25. He lost so many finals, it's crazy... but I think he can really influence Andy in a very positive way. again, I can only hope that Andy will listen... I think he is a bit stubborn but he is getting more humble nowadays...

I don't think he will be stubborn with Lendl & i think he has grown up.I've got a strange feeling that Murray is going to do very well @ RG,maybe it's the Lendl factor.Murray will respect what Lendl did way back when,that should make a difference.

general shanks i would not mind seeing  d-pot in the semis at RG as long as he is in the opposite 1/2 from the clay warrior.
 
semi #1: clay warrior vs Fed
 
semi #2 : d-pot vs murray
 
can it happen?

general Herc doesn't want to see Nole anywhere near Nadal  :rofl_2:. I understand, it's all good. If I was a Rafa fan, I wouldn't either  :)~.

del potro can be a threat to djokovic, federer and murray if he can plan well and peak for roland garros......actually i too have him as one of the four semifinal contestants unless he falls in nadal's quarter......

don't know Shank. Nole is a very bad match up for DP. the only match DP won against Nole was that DC match when Nole retired. Nole won pretty comfortably all of their previous matches.

del potro hasn't won a match against murray as well in a long time......but if you see what he is capable of, he can be a threat to all three of them......

he ran djokovic close for two sets last year at the FO and then they stopped play......next day djokovic comes out having thought out a plan after a much needed break......the davis cup match, even though djokovic retired, the first set was good......

del potro has very good power off both wings and unlike soderling or berdych, he is really very consistent.......he can take it to anyone on his day........his only problem is stamina - something which djokovic himself had until 2010......
