racha Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Paradorn got through a five setter 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-3 and goes to the second round, I hope he can do well at Wimbledon & being on grass again he should play better than the last few months, A real shock result with the giant 6ft 10in Croatian Karlovic beating Hewit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Let's hope Paradorn can get his last year's form back at Wimbledon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hope he does well. Dont see much of him in the papers as many of the other players maybe he doesn''t play as many of the tournaments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 He has played tournaments allright, must stay in form :: of course, but he hasn't perforemd well in them. Lost quite a few first and second rounders. Maybe a change of coach, as suggested last year, wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lleyton Hewitt sacked his coach not long before Wimbledon so not a good idea on his part anyway. I think some of them go off the boil . And don't forget the money even for a first round lose. But they do not like to be beaten,sometimes the preparation is lacking in Hewitt''s case we saw papers with shots of him playing football and just having a great time maybe was not UP for the game. maybe same with Paradorn?

Redbaron Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yeah now Hewitt's out.. go Para. Is Wimbledon played on grass? Seeing on tv tonight I though the surface was a clay colour. Maybe I'm wrong. I always thought it was grass, the only grass grand slam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yes Grass only one not sure but think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedave Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Actually I believe Paradorn hasn't taken a single week off when there's a tournament to play this year...he just loses so quickly that you don't have time to notice him. Before this week, he was 3-7 in his last ten matches...embarrasing for what's supposed to be the number 10 player in the world. I'm thinking they might reconsider how they rank players in tennis, because having a 3-7 player in the top 12 is simply ludicrous...especially aa he's losing to players ranked in the 100's due to his high seeding. He does work hard, though. Can't complain about him taking time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 That explains why i havent seen many reports on him in our papers. Hope his form picks up soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Where's DB when you need him? First, we need a list of the all tournaments that he has played in this year, playing surfaces, his relative seed, who he lost against and score. Thankfully, CBS.SportsLine.com has already done most of this! 2003 Results Tata Open (Won) Adidas International Australian Open Siebel Open Kroger St. Jude Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic Pacific Life Open NASDAQ-100 Open Tennis Masters Monte Carlo Open Seat Godo BMW Open Italia Masters Tennis Masters Hamburg French Open (Clay) The Stella Artois Championships Ordina Open The Wimbledon Championships (Grass) Cheers!
