Grosjean got one as well - what a waste
Report edy November 6, 2009 9:20 AM GMT
yeah, giving him two would've been a bit of a waste after all.

Llodra and Grosjean also got Wild Cards

And as an advocate of ATP superiority you should not want him in Paris as well Jeff :D

Pavel will retire. Spadea should also. Schuettler and Clement still makes some decent results. Schuettler earlier this year on grass. I really dont know if Grosjean level just declined big time or he is affected by all the injuries.

Actually if 3 more players drop out of Paris today then they will have to give Safin's wild card to somebody else...lol

Pavel ended his great career by playing a doubles match in bukarest that was broadcast on betfair livevideo and the dumb "I do live commentary during the rallies and mispronounce all the names"-commentator constantly confusing him with his doubles partner Trifu.

As a matter of fact I don't think the commentator got it right even once.

he said late last month that IF he were to continue after Paris bercy, the AO 2010 would be his last tournament.

As far as I know it's still an if and the official plan is still to retire next week

''The Paris Masters, starting on Sunday, is likely to be the last tournament for the 36-year-old although he has not totally ruled out taking part in the Australian Open in January.

If he does compete at Melbourne Park, Santoro, who played the first of a record 67 grand slam tournaments at the 1989 French Open, would be the first player to have played grand slams over four decades.

"I don't know what I'll decide," he told Reuters in an interview. "My idea was always to finish my career at (Paris Masters venue) Bercy but at the same time, going to Melbourne would make me worthy of a Trivial Pursuit question.''

I know he wants it. If he doesn't play the AO I will post naked pictures of myself.

Tenté un temps par l'idée de terminer sa carrière à Melbourne en janvier prochain pour devenir le premier joueur de l'histoire du tennis à s'être aligné dans des tournois du Grand Chelem sur quatre décennies, Fabrice Santoro a finalement tranché : il raccrochera bien ses raquettes à Bercy la semaine prochaine comme initialement prévu. "Finir contre Blake, voire Murray, me va très bien, a déclaré le Toulonnais vendredi à l'issue du tirage au sort du Masters 1000 parisien. Je n'ai pas envie de terminer ma carrière sur le court n°17, à Melbourne contre Montanes." Le magicien tirera donc sa révérence comme Marat Safin au POBP après 21 années passées au plus haut niveau.
