Hope Monique's over the thigh strain. Monique is the only reason to
bother. You lucky bastard. I got to ballboy at the NSW Open once for
Martina Navratilova and Hana Mandlikova :( and almost got killed by a
Roscoe Tanner serve which I didn't see.

If you get a chance default Lleyton Hewitt for us Dave. Don't worry
about the 1st warning, then the game, just default him from the match.
I'm sure you can find an excuse.

Tips - no surprises this year, Agassi and Davenport.
