A reunion with Grass

The tennis caravan has traveled once again and this time the battles are to be won and lost on grass, another love for some and foe for others. Maria Sharapova got through her first round at Birmingham and a lot of people are looking to this tournament to really see where she stands as she herself claims grass to be her preferred surface. Andy Murray is through to the third round of Queens and is looking tough. So are Hewitt and Roddick, who are to play each other. Meanwhile Safin and Monfils withdrew due to injury - for Safin, the back and Monfils, the wrist. Some went to Germany for their reunion with Grass, like Tommy Haas, who seems to be on fire. He took out Tsonga to get to the quarters of the event. Djokovic is also still holding on to the Gerry Weber draw. French Open champ, Federer, pulled out of Queens and Gerry Weber and is recovering before his official debut. Rafael Nadal confirmed that he is having pain in his knees but also that it would break his heart to miss Wimbledon and that he is thinking he will be playing it this year. Watch out for a lot of good tennis coming your way this summer! So exciting!
