I expect Roddick to make up some points on the ATP race now. I think he will win Stella Artois Championships (he's defending champ too, right??)

Three time defending champion. I'm really looking forwards to the return of Agassi...I hope he can have a great grass court season. I think he has something left in him....

Btw, what the good word on Roddicks ankle. He could pull out of Stella Artois because of it

I am looking forward to Queens Club. It has the best draw of any international series event I have seen this year! Queens club has the best grasscourts in the world, and I hope there will be some great matches. It is one of the few tournaments with proper, fast grasscourts, so we get to see some good grass tennis instead of the baseline rallies at Wimbledon.

Are they not slowing down the courts there? Because I think Agassi said that it's the most similar to Wimbledon....

Last year they were very fast compared to Wimbledon. Agassi hasen't played at Wimbledon for a few years so he may not be aware just how much it has changed.

It would probably suit him better, since his reaction has slowed down by the tiniest of a second.

God I hate that name!

A wonderful field for the Queens Club. If his ankle is alright Andy should win. also look for deep runs for Ancic, Lopez, and Hewitt

It's kind of weild to think he wouldn't know how the courts play.

Anicic could also be a threat. He has shown us he can play good on clay. Now he will go to aa surface even more suited to his game. Let's just see how he makes the transation, since he did play wuite a few matches on clay

He should have a good grass court season. His serve's huge, and his game's basically built for it. I expect him to get into the groove of things right away....

The field of Queens is so strong this year, it will be hard for Roddick or Hewitt to continue to domanate (they have won the last 6 times between them). Hewitt will be very confident now after a solid French Open.

I think he has always prefered grass over clay, so he will be happy to play on grass....
