LIFE AFTER WIMBLEDON: ATP 250 (Stuttgart, Bastad, Newport, Umag)

Looking at the forum today, bar one notable exception, one can think that it's Christmas.

Well, regardless of the fact most of us are still recovering from quite a
remarkable Wimbledon, tennis ball is still being hit across the net all
around the world.

Stuttgart, Newport , Bastad, Umag

So, for all those who are already having some tennis withdrawal
symptoms, no reason to have them: plenty of good players around, sadly,
not on grass, but back on clay

Chance to enjoy them shine in the absence of the very top players


P.S.

still, one last good-bye to a memorable Wimbledon 2012:

Can't comment on this I am afraid! Not interested...unfortunately.

Our friend Ramos just lost..again! (to Dimitrov)

Was Ramos the one we saw v Fed?

No surprise then.
