Week 19 - AMS Rome : Tim Henman v N Almagro

I don't really know! I've gone for Almagro in three here, but Tim in the pick 'em contest. I think either way it'll be close (maybe only 2 sets but close in the sense of a point here and there). If Tim is playing well he could beat Almagro who is heading down the rankings at the moment, however Almagro is a claycourter and Tim isn't exaclty on the up either. Good luck Tim

Almagro plays under par other than in Valencia! Tim can have him!

Poor Tim, what a rotten draw. Even if he wins this - and Almagro on clay is a daunting prospect - Fed awaits in the next round. furious

What? No one here to follow this match? I've got to out for a few mins in a sec but they're currently 2-1 to Almagro on serve. Both have faced and saved a single break point. Go Tim!

I was looking for the thread. . .

But I am only here for a short while as I have to go and make "Sunday Dinner" - yes I know it is Monday, but I was away at the weekend so the other half wants his proper meal!

Now Tim to serve at 2-3.

What is the italian for "Come on"? I have a vague memory of "adalante" or something like that. I know it is in a thread somewhere but by the time I find it the match will be over!

Almagro leads 4-3*
