hope it works! And for some reason the Swiss flag is smaller, hmmff. Im watching Mark now in the 4th set and he is raring to go! Running from change of ands bouncing all over the place! He looks so eager, hope he can keep it up  So, I wonder if my flags can do the business  |

I guess cos it's a small country!! Actually, that IS the size of the Swiss flag... it's square but "they" want it to be like the others... rectangle. I saw a funny headline in a Swiss paper... sth like "small country, big sausage"!!

Why on earth does Roddick get court #1 and Roger only court #2  PFFFF Roger is the highest seed left in the draw and Schalken is a higher seed than Björkman and last year quarterfinalist  ALLEEEEZ Rogi  please reach the final so I FINALLY get to see a whole match of you playing |

Well, we'll surely see the semifinal if Pandy makes it there against Rogi. Although I'm sure that if they could, ESPN would only put the cameras on Pandy! |

Doris, I'm very disappointed with the Swiss news we see here. They've hardly covered Rogi at all! Yesterday--without showing his picture even--they only reported that Rogi didn't get to play because of the rain! |

Post by RogiFan on Jul 3, 2003 6:02:51 GMT -5
Yes, that's a good strategy, Mrs B! If you leave the house, they're sure to start playing! |

Federer, Schalken Relish Delay
Wednesday, July 2, 2003
As the rain clouds gathered over SW19, the Henman faithful were looking glum. As they sat in damp and depressed huddles on Henman Hill, their boy was in trouble and the rain was reducing their chance of seeing any action.
Meanwhile, deep in the inner sanctum that is the players' complex at the All England Club there were two very happy chaps indeed. Roger Federer and Sjeng Schalken were supposed to play their quarter-final after Henman had finished his national service on Centre Court. Both, though, are carrying injuries and would relish the opportunity for a little more time off.
Federer thought his number was up on Monday as he went through the warm-up for his match with Feliciano Lopez. Suddenly his back went into spasm, apparently for no reason, and he had to call the trainer to pummel it back into life. Not even Federer knows quite how he managed to get through that particular encounter. A day off and more massage on Tuesday helped considerably, but an extra day spent with his feet up - albeit in the locker room - could only makes things better still.
Schalken, too, would have been delighted. On Monday night, after his straight-sets victory over Rainer Schuettler, he could hardly walk. Worse, he could not sleep for the pain and the panic. He thought he had broken a small bone in his foot and that his Wimbledon was over. An MRI scan on Tuesday revealed he only had inflammation in the joint of his big toe. It hurt, but it could be fixed with a painkilling injection once the fluid had been drained from the area. An extra 24 hours for the injury to settle down will have done Schalken a world of good.
They will, weather permitting, finally get to work tomorrow, taking to Court 2 at 12pm.

Aleta where are you from and where are you now? Somewhere in lovely Europe?
I am in Germany and my TV coverage goes pretty much like this: Popp here, Popp there, POPP EVERYWHERE and I have a couple of ESPN viewers as friends who are Rogi fans, too, so I know their suffering with US tennis coverage |
