Hello everyone, I have landed safely here this morning! Helsinki seems to be womderful city. Im still feeling kinda disappointed about RG but Agnes was just incredible that day, its crazy :eek: Next week I'm going for my first title, its definitely time to get one! I love the venue here and surface seems to be good. Had a little practice with Misa today, was good :p

Missing so far

If Maria does end up sending I guess I'll play doubles with her.

If not is it possible for me to have a player (Ana Ivanovic if possible) who has the same points as me and is only in the doubles draw?

no, thats not really fair, the whole point of doubles is to play with another player, if you don't have another player ill give you a CPU that has the points of 0-0-0

maybe you should TRY to make friends on the tour so you can have some doubles partners.

Nah, I'm too mean for that whole friendship thing :oh:

if Maria doesn't send and Petko can't find a partner then I'll pair you 2 up.
