Today it is the 13

The French Davis Cup article mentioned his upcoming retirement, though it did not give a date. Could this be a last stand, or is there a small event near his home that we might expect an announcement?

Form what I understand, he is mainly retiring from singles but will continue to play doubles.

Juan Monaco, who had to be jet lagged, was well on his way to defeating Robin Haase when, getting ready to slide into a return, he severely turned his ankle. The only reason he didn't break it - it was that bad a turn - is that he threw himself forward and looked to have twisted his neck as well.

Haase, not sure if Monaco had hurt his neck grabbed a towel and made a pillow for him and stayed talking to him until the trainer came from Paris. Just kidding but it took the trainer awhile to get there.
