I like him with the hat, or without. He's one of those guys who can wear a hat well, always have clean lines and all that. I like his hair too. I wish the sun was shining in Hamburg to bring out the blond highlights, though I ask you again, how is it that he can get even better looking as the days go on?!

See this article in tennis week and I really like the title Fantastic Finnish: Nieminen Overcomes Two-Set Deficit And Varlet In Roland Garros Win By Richard Pagliaro 05/29/2003 Hurtling head first toward his court-side chair as he slid across the clay on his stomach, French qualifier Julien Varlet was trying hard not to swallow the mouthful of dirt, but trying even harder to reach the ball bouncing just beyond his reach. Hurling his body around the court as if it were a Hummer dominating a demolition derby, Varlet's desperate dive was indicative of the extraordinary effort he exuded throughout the match. Holding a a 6-1, 6-1, 4-1 lead over Jarkko Nieminen, the 163rd-ranked Varlet was so close to victory in today's second-round Roland Garros match, he could almost taste it. Instead, the dirt he tasted was a prelude to the particularly painful defeat he would soon swallow. Staging a remarkable rally from the edge of defeat, Nieminen stormed back to score a 1-6, 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-4 victory. It was truly a fantastic Finnish as the 30th seed from Finland fought back from a two-set deficit for the first time in his career. The 34th-ranked Nieminen scored his second successive win over a Frenchman — he beat Nicolas Escude 7-6(3), 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-1 in the first round — to reach the third round for the second straight year. Nieminen, who lost to Tommy Haas in the third round last year, will face Romania's Victor Hanescu for a spot in the round of 16. Nieminen's comeback overshadowed an inspired effort from the 25-year-old Varlet, who may never be a consistent top 100 player, but on this day played with the passion of a man willing to pay a painful price on every single point. It was the type of physical tennis that would require a helmet, mouthpiece and knee pads for the average person to play, but Varlet willingly sacrificed his body in pursuit of a victory that would elude him. The 25-year-old French man, who earned his first career Grand Slam victory with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) win over Kenneth Carlsen in the opening round, never stopped fighting, but ultimately fell to a more polished player in the left-handed Nieminen.

Thanks, okay. I'll just put the website on there. The reason I asked you is because I don't have that language package on my computer, so when I go to a sight in non-Roman characters it looks like junk and I can't find my way around Thanks!

The top one is, I'm guessing, where he picked up his groin strain.
The second one makes me want to sob.
