The Count seems far too keen to see Fitzy with his top off. ashamed

You have to worry about a player who lists "length" among his vital statistics. http://www.rutgercramer.com/tennis/en/spelersprofiel.htm (this is Cr**er of course, not Fitzy) wink

haha ive asked him to email me the pictures he took, we shall see what they look like he wouldnt let me look at them, off to sleep hopefully a good day again tomorrow

James · Satellite level

He sounds like the type of person that you can't shake off, be careful Fitzy otherwise he'll start following you around the globe! He also seems to be quite preciously balanced mentally, I would imagine very philosophical and calm one minute and then rampaging and killing, perhaps a doubles partner, the next.

haha thanks for the link priceless, who does that!!

steven · Tennis legend

I think it's actually a language problem, but to say that would have spoilt the effect! Anyway, sleep well and good luck for tomorrow.

What has happened to this thread!!!

This Cremer guy sounds like a real legend.... we need to get an interview with him at some point to find out what he is really like - I think you should play with him Fitzy, as surely his energy will carry you to the doubles title!!!

Have a good night's sleep, and hopefully you can enlighten us with more taes from Islamabad tomorrow, along with a great win for you!

Well done to Bains and Feaver on winning as well.

Three wins and fun tales from the tour! What a day...

steven · Tennis legend

Certainly makes up for for all the boring losses in Europe LOL

RedCabbage · Club Coach

Cramer sounds like a total legend.

Best of luck Fitzy et al.

Well the only thing i can send today that is funny involved mr cramer again.
My match went as follows, rained delayed sort of yes your playing, no your not, from 10 am till 2pm which didnt help.
Then we got on a wet slidey court, lost 6-2 6-3, it was closer than that, but it was one of those days where i just ended up getting inside my own head with my serve.

It got beyond embarresing the amount of double faults and first serves i was missing, from then on it was a struggle and i was on the defence every point as he has a big serve.

started off hitting 5 aces in the first two games which amazes me even more how i can drop the level so much so fast.
I think its inside my head where i start getting embarressed about hitting doubles faults and thus start thinking about it too much and by that time its too late.

Bad day as he was more than winnable and starting to frustrate me how many of these chances i seem to be messing up. Two more tournaments around the corner so i cant let it get me down otherwise it will have been a waste risking me life and limb out here!

Cramer watched a bit and came out with a quote of the day
'you didnt serve very well did you'...good thinking batman.

Also he doesnt believe in weights, so he doesnt do any.

So yet another chance blown no real jump made, be for i know it im slipping from a good prospect into another run of the mill english player.
