[janie]

Yay! Thank, Hurley. Ward & Ginepri in the same section. Souza, Rochus and Jaziri in another same section? Mecir?? KRAJICEK?

[lexpretend]

Giovanni Lapentti?! I had no idea he was still playing! I would have guessed he retired about five years ago! This is what I get for not following the men's Hidden World...

Got my eye on Pouille and Kyrgios, who both impressed at RG...

[janie]

Oh! Thanks for the reminder; I'd forgotten Kyrgios, and I still don't remember Pouille. Didn't even notice the lesser Lapentti in there! It used to be Brinyi who kept us up to date with the men's Hidden World.

[janie]

James Ward won. As did Karlovic. Please qualify, Ivo! Don't make Leena sad.
