Este é mais um jogo em que tenho alguma dificuldade em fazer um prognóstico. Gilles Muller e Sam Querrey são dois jogadores de altos e baixos habituados a jogar nos pisos rápidos.
O americano Sam Querrey tem um saldo positivo no hardcourt. Esta época começou em Brisbane e foi derrotado por Soderling em 2 sets, num [...]

"Tennis Shanghai Master Cup Interview: Gilles Simon 11/14"
G. SIMON/R. Stepanek 6-1, 6-4
Q. The obvious question - can you answer it two ways - first of all, if make the semifinals, how will you feel?
GILLES SIMON: Well, it's not easy to say right now, because I was watching the match. So it's really not easy to see someone playing and cheering for him.
But I hope I have the chance to

Costruito come un diario dove si miscelano in modo brillante elementi biografici e fantastici, e inframmezzato da immaginari colloqui della protagonista con gli psichiatri che l'ebbero in cura, 'Alabama Song' di Gilles Leroy, in libreria dal 14-10-2008, è la cronaca di una corsa a perdifiato incontro alla follia, il grido doloroso, sensuale, talvolta erotico, di una donna eccezionale, un "genio d
Photo by Gregory ShamusGetty Images for NASCAROne part of NASCAR that I enjoy is road course racing, whether it’s at Watkins Glen or Sonoma (the course layout needs to be updated…) and that goes for racing in Montreal and for the second straight year of the NASCAR Nationwide Series going north of the border to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, I was left surprised. Last season, it was
Esta é sem dúvida uma semi-final inesperada, por um lado temos o francês Gilles Simon que após vencer na 1ª ronda o norte-americano Donald Young por 6-1 6-3 venceu na 2ª ronda nada menos que o número 1 mundial, Roger Federer após perder o 1º set por 2-6 virou o resultado com uma exibição impressionante [...]
Gilles Simon On A Roll In Toronto, make Semifinals
Gilles Simon is having terrific weeks during this hard court season. He took the Indianapolis title on Sunday, then he came to Toronto where in the second round he defeated world number 1, Roger Federer and now he found himself in the semifinals of this Master event after a 3 set, 3-6 6-2 6-3, win over Marin Cilic.
Cilic started much better
A long anticipated court case was decided today, and the possible ramifications to the province of Alberta are staggering.I first wrote about a self-described so-called ‘Alberta Francophone’ and his lawyer (also Francophone – surprise!) who were attempting to use a $54 traffic ticket – in case you didn’t catch that, I said a $54 traffic ticket – as a vehicle to launch a self-gratifying
Because a healthy man-crush can only be quelled for so long...... here's a great track off the first compilation from Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings. Yep, that guy again. ("I can' quit you Gilles!") Anyhoo, this one's from Seattle Neo-Soul singer Choklate, who might not be a household name but certainly has the talent to get there. Well, based on this song, anyway. I haven't heard an
This is the 30th running of the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and it comes with some improvements to the track and the facilities. The press will enjoy the first improvement which is them moving from the small control tower to the Olympic rowing basin.

Embora nunca tenha feito picks de ténis, devido à minha preferência pelo basket, venho agora dedicar-me um pouco mais a este ramo.
Tenho apostado imenso em ténis mas nem por isso tenho passado por esta secção. Tsonga (17º do ranking ATP) é um jogador muito bom mentalmente, e provou isso mesmo no Australian Open onde [...]
Afternoon all. Arseblog made the point over the weekend that Hleb should have sorted Murty out good and proper, rather than the rather girly slap that got him a deserved 3 match ban. With apologies to 1979 Hleb should have got a red card, deserved his ban for being an idiot, and the fact that the FA are inconsistent doesn't change that. Just ask Aliadiere. So, here's a short half to one that we

Coming to Marseille, question was is Novak healthy enough to play? On Sunday he needed to withdraw due to exhaustion in a match against Davydenko when leading 2:1 in sets, match that sealed the victory for Russian Fed Cup team. Novak's 2 other Fed Cup team-mates also to caught a flu in Moscow have withdrown from participating in ongoing Belgrade Challenger this week for not being healthy enough.Marseille is a big venue with €534,000 in total prize money and 200 ATP points for the winner. Novak is #1 seed, he's ranked #1 in curent ATP race, #3 in ATP rankings and is tournament's leading Star, his first ATP tournament after winning Australian Open. Though he had all the reasons to cancel participation for not being fully healthy. Nadal World #2 and Federer World #1 do not participate in an
Amazing how letting off steam makes the world a better place…
Arsene is the subject of today’s rumours with The Sun Says So It Must Be True, quoting a “friend” of Le Boss at length, blathering on about how he’s unsettled with DD’s departure, how he’s worried about the squad being too young for a true tilt at the title, how he’s been told to sell players before he can buy. All of which sounds like this friend of Arsene is a bit of a figment of someone’s imagination after a fifteenth pint of Tennants Super. There is an element of truth in what is said though to my mind and that is the timescale, which is of course what the hack in question is playing on. I have no doubt that AW will know by Christmas what he is going to do, if he has not already pretty much made up his mind already. Where the story veers from reality is over the question of money - AW knows the financial situation better than anyone else and the impact it will have o
May 8th marked 25 years since the fatal practice for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder. I was too small at that time to remember well the races he raced in. But I still rememeber hearing the news of his death on the radio.Here is a video of one of the best racing fights - Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari) vs Renè Arnoux (Williams) in 1979:Here is a video tribute to the man:And here is a selection of articles:Gilles Villeneuve rememberedGilles Villeneuve - An AppreciationTWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO TODAYThere is also very nice story by his friend and fellow racer Patrick Tambay in May issue of F1 Racing magazine.
Erano altri tempi, altri circuiti, altre auto. Qualcuno, Gilles, appassionava tutti noi per il suo cuore, l’attaccamento alla squadra, all’ingegnere. Appiccicati alle reti, o in tribunette fatiscenti, sui tetti di un camper oppure attaccati ad un albero. Presenti, per vedere la sua voglia di correre e di vincere. Poi quell’8 maggio di venticinque anni fa Zolder, in Belgio. Lo chiamavano “aviatore, per tutti gli spettacolari fuoripista come quello in Austria a Zeltweg, e quel giorno spiccò il volo, ma non tornò più.
This is a 56 player Masters Series which means the top 8 seeds get a BYE to the 2nd round. Andy Murray is seeded 10th so just misses out.The good news is that Murray will be out on court this afternoon and will, no doubt, be keen to get his clay court season up and running.Before we look at the draw, a quick scan of the rankings list shows Murray 30 points behind James Blake in 9th place and 100 points behind Ivan Ljubicic in 8th. Murray has just five points to defend so a modest run in this tournament would still offer a healthy bump in points. Blake and Ljubicic, however, also only have 5 points to defend so it'll be worth keeping a close eye on their progress.UK is 1 hour behind Rome, so play starts at midday with Murray and Gilles Simon (58) due out third. Some time after 3pm would be my guess. This match will be on Sky Sports Extra - otherwise you can find Live Score at http://www.internazionalibnlditalia.it/1/default.asp?LNG=ENSimon made a good start early in the year by wi
Wow! What a film!
L’appartement is a cool Gallic comedy thriller, which ticks all the boxes - sultry Gauloises smoking, sexy short-skirt wearing, complex plot misunderstandings. OK, you have to accept a few coincidences, but it’s worth it for the ride.
To simplify a complicated story without giving anything away, you have a protaganist who is about to get married, who catches a glimpse of an old girlfriend who just upped and left without telling him. He wants to know why…
Watch it, even if you don’t normally like French films this is a winner
