Yep - Francesca is my "real" name - glad you like it :) No am not Spanish (would probably have to be a Rafa girl instead of a Roger girl then lol). I'm from the UK but my Dad is Italian and my Mum is English so I am half and half!! Oh and hence the name :)

Yes yes yes!! Let's keep the faith with Backhander - he WILL become a GOAT Knight and defeat Darth Raf-er on the clay of the Red Earth. But yep, the Force is strong with Darth Raf-er (unfortunately) and esp on Red Earth (I heard that was where Emperor Toni raised his prodigy!). So Backhander has his work well and truly cut out - let's hope he gets in some good practice with his Wilsonsaber lol :)

Hey there! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the articles - thanks for letting me know. I had so much fun writing them so it is always so nice to hear that someone has had fun reading them! :)

we never know Pratheerth...at the prsopect of facing Federer he might get recharged!!

yeah...If Federer deals with Simon right and proper!! he meets him in the QF!! with a 2-0 head-to-head!!

Hey Pratheerth...the matches have started airing.....

Thanks for the fan add Prateerth...[:)]

i think so.....

and i think it's the first round scheduled for today and tomorrow; maybe from 29th you can find out about the live action...

I checked the papers today but they haven't mentioned anything about Rome Masters in "Action Today" column....and the official site is not giving me any help...i guess we need to switch on the TV at about 7-8 and check on Star Sports....considering the time zone difference....that's what i plan to do!!
