Gasquet / Alami
Squillari / Nalbandian

Vamos Squillari! Defeat Muster at once!!



Ranier, have you seen how hard is to keep a game in more than one board? But it´s funny and it´s nice, I enjoy doing it, even when I have less time to do my other duties.
Thank you for running this game

Sometimes it can be very annoying, especially when I have a lot of work to do but the fact some people actually care about this game makes me continue running it.

Muster masters Monte Carlo
Sixth seeded Austrian Thomas Muster downed the in-form Manuel Santana to claim the Monte Carlo Masters and his third title of the year overall. In what was the first meeting between these two men, Muster was able to rise to the occasion at key points in the match and prevent Santana from winning his second straight title following his success at the Kremlin Cup last week. This win for Muster confirms his reputation as one of the favourites for the French Open which begins in little over a month, as he has now won three clay court events this year and has never failed to reach the semis at any of the tournaments played on the dirt. This victory will provoke a double celebration for the Austrian as with the win here he has returned to the position as number 1 in the world, which reflects his clay court dominance this season.
