I wouldn't go public with having forgotten about Nathaliia, you'll probably be dead if she finds out. ROFLMAO

Pity the result was the wrong one, for some reason the ATP site seems to get it right in cases like this even though they are further from the action.

bump.... lol
It's because ATP supervisor knows the score and puts on pdf, while the press office was rubbish this year because it wasn't made by the crew I work for haha.

As for Jamie, I even talked with him for a bit, but I was mainly busy watching the matches in another venue, and the transport wasn't great this year. From one venue to another we had to go via hotel. It took ages.

Yes, like every year haha... But this time the main venue was somewhere completely else, like the other part of the city... Jamie even didn't see it, I think ;)

No. The main venue used to be Hala Ludowa, it more or less in the centre, well, at least it's a very famous place in Wroclaw, and it's like 30 minutes on foot and 12 by car to the quallies hall. But it's now on the UNESCO list, and they cut the costs, and moved the main venue to the Hala Orbita, which can be even 1,5 h by car from the quallies hall when there's a traffic. When it's at night - around 20 minutes of fast drive. If to travel on by bus/tram - it would take 2 h on average.

The quallies hall (and the court 1, 2 bull****) remains the same - it's called AZS Hall and well, it's kind of also in the middle of the city, but it's by the river, around the house district, and overall when I walk there from my dorm (15 minutes on foot) it looks like a village, lol. But players like running by the river, so it's okay for them. The hotel belonging to the hall used to be the official one, until they contracted Plaza. Now Plaza, which is situated in probably the most dangerous district of Wrocaw (but still somehow around 15 minutes to the market square) is the main hotel with ATP contract. Word on the street is that it was swapped because there are two different bookmaking offices just in front of Plaza, so a player like Karanusic didn't have to look far to bet on his loss in the 1st round and Kunitsyn also had where to go.

The hotel is in the midway between the venues. Like I said, when there's a traffic, it's just crazy. The Belgian umpire could sing whole "Children of the Revolution" during one red light. Wroclaw prepares for Euro 2012, everything is renovated, it is crazy and traffic is huge. I usually go on foot, wherever I want to go, because it's quicker. The drivers dissed a lot.

My humble report ;)
