It was the 2nd time we tried to play 3 tournaments the same week. Here are the winners :

- Makanaki at Munich
- Vincerick at Estoril
- atoenupu at Istanbul



LLTL, Nelson : Congratulations Makanaki for your great reaction. After your catastrophic performance in Marrakech, you now won your first title. What happened in-between ?

Makanaki : Hi, well thanks for your congratulations. I know I have had an very bad performance in Marrakech at the Grand-Prix Hassan II tournament and I really dont know what happended that the players did not delivered the results that I have picked before ;o)
But that is also the positive side of tennis that there are always many surprises and almost everybody is able to beat everybody. 6 Points in a draw is really bad but yeah, as you wrote, it seems I have an official (bad) record now ;o)

LLTL, Nelson : We are following Dominic Thiem's progression with a lot of interest. Since you are his fellow countryman, what do you think about him ? Will he be the next Number 1 with the help of Günter Bresnik ? And since we have no news about Gulbis in our french medias, do you know what happened to him (is is he still with Thiem in Bresnik's team ?) ?

Makanaki : Yes he may is able to reach one of the first three positions in the atp single ranking for sure, if he will stay healthy and will keep on training like he is doing now. Indeed he is number nine at the moment and he have much more things to raise. Especially his volleys and also to keep his level in a match for a long time. But I am positive that he will keep us entertaining.

LLTL, Nelson Macron : Félicitations Vincerick pour votre 2ème titre de la saison après Indian Wells. Vous voilà 3ème à la race et au classement annuel. Peut-on dire aujourd'hui que votre projeeeeeeeeeeeeet de tennis flexisécuritaire est en marche ?

Vincerick : Bonjour Nelson! Dites donc, je vous vois plus que ma femme ces derniers temps...Ma victoire sur ce 250 permet effectivement de renforcer ma 3eme place, et surtout de bien préparer mon tournoi de coeur, le Master de Madrid. J'irai voir les matchs en direct afin d'affiner mes connaissances sur le jeu de certains jeunes joueurs. En parlant de prooooojet, quand pensez-vous mettre en place des pronostics sur un tournoi féminin? Les féminazis pourraient pirater votre site si elles se rendaient compte de cette situation...

Unfortunately atoenupu did not reply.
