Doubles: 1st round: beat Lindstedt/Nieminen 6-4 6-7(4) 10-7, 2nd round: lost to Bryan/Bryan 4-6 3-6.

Up next is Madrid. Hopefully Fernando will be able to play again. Gaby
and Carlita will be in Madrid so there will be no updates here on the website
or in the gallery. So if you register for the VO Gallery or Forum, it might
take a bit longer to be approved. Please check our forum for order of play and
/ or results.
Vamos Fernando, and see you all again in a week's time!

At the last minute Fernando had to withdraw from Stockholm with a calf
injury. Let's hope it is nothing too serious and he'll be back on the courts
of Madrid next week. Feel better soon Fer!
