Yes it does seem like a very nice venue. Have the draws come out yet? I know Nadal is playing and could very well go far even on grass. Federer is a surre bet for Gerry Weber

Good playing by the two French men. Nice to see Roddick playing well on grass after losing in the doubles challenger

Roddick Mahut final. Mahut has game and could dethrone Roddick. I haven't seen him play at Stella but I have seen him play in the past and he serve and volley's but has a good baseline game. He was the Wimbledon junior champ in 2000.

Mahut really should have won that final...he was outplaying the single gear Roddick....only his serve saved him....it is an impressive serve though.
First player not man-handled by the Roddick serve will dismiss him from the Gentlemen's draw at Wimbledon....Andy's playing in this final really underscored how one-dimensional his game is.

You hit it on the nail Rattler. That's what I was thinking myself. Roddick's game is still only just service. I was hoping that Jimmy Connors would have helped other parts of his game...

Nestor/Knowles won the doubles... the poor souls played four matches within 24 hours.
