Radek Stepanek（Memphis Open09）
２月２２日。MEMPHIS（米国テネシー州）。Radek StepanekがAndy Roddickに5-7、5-7で準優勝。
言い訳：
●“I had no doubts I wouldn’t break him back, I had a lot of chances today to break him and didn’t convert them. That was the biggest difference between the two of us.”
●"I don't think I played worse than he did in San Jose, the only difference was in the important points, but I was still confident until the last point was played."
●"His game is based around his serve and he served really well when he had to."
●“Since he said I was the best player throughout those two weeks, I said, `OK, maybe I keep it maybe.’ But no. He deserved it.”
▼Roddickの新コーチLarry Stefankiはアメリカ人だったんですね。

Michael Llodra（Open13・09）
2月21日。マルセイユ（仏）。Michael LlodraがJo-Wilfried Tsongaに５７、６７で準優勝。
言い訳：
●“It was really close, but I did not land enough first serves to trouble him.”
●“The accumulation of singles and doubles matches is not easy to handle.”
●"He was stronger, today, it was down to a few points, I did not serve well enough."
▼大会公式サイト（www.open13.fr）は仏英対応▼サイトを見る限り、スポンサーはブーシュ＝デュ＝ローヌ県の商工会議所Conseil General 13のように見えます▼県の商工会議所でも資金さえあれば国際大会のスポンサーになれるんですね▼マルセイユの冬季観光促進事業といったところでしょうか。
