Bumsby! Did you hear that?! "the public will play an important role" Get down there and shout till your horse for France! :D

Thank you for the update Hugo :)

If, as Barbie is worrying, Golovin cannot overcome her opponent it will be down to Amelie which is extra pressure for her.

Does anyone know if there are livestreams or eurosport streams?

Actually I'm rooting for Italy... *tape*
I'm sorry, but it's not a matter of patriotism, just sympathy for the irresistible Haventaclue... ;)
No really, I can't root for France when they play against Italy. In Rimini two years ago I was rooting for Italy, too. Sometimes I clapped Momo's great shots (with people looking at me weird), but it was that. On the other hand the Italian Momo fan club were all rooting for France :P

(But think about it: what other nations are able to have amongst their best, players like Francesca and Haventaclue... LOL. We rock.)

(And Tax, too! That's another human case.)

Spank said...

Tax? Human? *confused*

Bumsby said...

Mmh... doesn't bode well for us, does it? We lost the first rubber and Amé has almost taken the first set... *sobs*

Bumsby said...

Dai Franci provaci! (Non in quel senso... LOL)

Spank said...

.And the chances of Amelie coming back from lossing the 1st set in current form are.. :(

Bumsby said...

But it's not over yet. *crosses Italian fingers*

Spank said...

Any guesses as to what will happen match wise tomorrow Hugo ? :)

Bumsby said...

I don't wanna jinx anyone, but I think there's a high chance they'll go to the deciding rubber. Of course I hope Italy will win earlier, but I don't see Tax beating Mauresmo. And it's not granted Fran will beat Tatiana, too :P

France is about to go up 3-1

Hugo87 said...

OMG tati blew a 5-2 lead in the final set and loss it is now 2-2 arhhhhhh

Spank said...

...I feared Tati might not be as strong as every body believes she can be :( *sigh*

It's down to the wire now! :)

BTW Where the hell is Marion??? She is in form player, so where is she?
Why is Amelix playing after having rotten form and an operation and on top of saying she would prefer to take a back seat and let the younger generation step up?
