Ronald is coming back !!!

Covington

10. Agenor, Ronald HAI @331

[Steve G]

He is probably coaching someone who is there?
Maybe just wants to keep sharp.

Looks like a few guys have decided to stay in Beijing for a couple of weeks.

[Fee]

They can keep each other company. Seems like a good plan - Beijing, Beijing, Shanghai, Japan. Tennis is pretty popular in those locations so I bet they will be treated well. Kind of wish I could be there with Alex, Graydon, Justin G., Glenn, JMG (for the last two) and the others. Do some shopping, watch some tennis. Wonder if Graydon will get some touristy photos up on his website in a few weeks...

[BelgiumDude]

[BelgiumDude]

Thanks for the updates Jay, though I have a few questions :

*In Beijing, what happened to Tereschuk, he was third on the alternate list originally, but you do not mention him on the alternate list anymore, he should be on number one alternate right now, unless he withdrew.

*In Banja Luka, Perez was already on the entry list.

*In Szczecin, Squillari was already on the entry list.
