My favorite backboard, sleep-inducing, lean-running-machine player is back after missing the US open ... due to whopping cough ...

Is whooping cough a euphemism for 'pregnant girlfriend?' I heard that his partner was due to have their 2nd child, and assumed he wasn't going to risk what happened in 2010, i.e., she gave birth early, and he missed it.

Nicer than whooping cough. No word on the new baby that I can find, btw. Oh, and I forgot to say that I'll be pulling for Tsonga. I'm hoping he's well and has a stellar 2014. He's due.

The baby was born last week, Gilles was there this time..don't know if it's a boy or a girl but Gilles is usually very private

Congratulations to him, then. At least he is playing closer to home right now.

I watched Paire's sputtering loss to Benjamin Becker, including his being booed as he walked off court. I'm not sure what to make of Paire. Some seem to think he's quite talented, but needs to get his head together. Perhaps. He does often act like a temperamental child.

Paire is well known to be bad tempered..he's a smash raquets specialist and others bad behaviour
He tried a psychologist but it didn't work

Allez Gillou! Good win for him against Tsonga who he has a bad record against.
Anyway, nice showing from a rusty Tsonga. Decent comeback.
