I knew that today was going to be some real tennis on the court. Thats pretty important to me. If Im going to lose, Im going to because the guy was better than me. I dont like to lose because the conditions were ugly for the players.Once play resumed, Mannarino continued his strong play.I was just trying to focus on my game (during the delay) and what I have to do, he said. It worked pretty well. When I got back on court, I was pretty consistent.Mannarino, the only Frenchman remaining in the field, was handed a French flag by a media member who wished him a Happy Bastille Day at a post-match news conference.On Tuesday, Mannarino said of a side court: The court is just ridiculously bad. Were playing (next to) the other court. Youve got the camera, the microphone on the court. You cant really move. This is really not respectful for the players to come, that kind of court.Mannarino entered the week ranked 55th on the ATP tour. Vapormax Italia .

Starc collided with some training equipment during Australias practice session at Hurstville Oval in Sydney on Thursday and was taken by ambulance to St George Hospital, where he underwent surgery and received approximately 30 stitches.He will remain in hospital for the next few days and will use an extension brace in the coming weeks until his stitches are removed. However, Cricket Australias chief medical officer, Dr John Orchard, who was at the ground and accompanied Starc to hospital, said that unless Starc suffered any complications he would hopefully remain on track to play Australias first Test of the summer.Australias selectors had already announced that Starc would be rested from the ODI tour of South Africa, which starts later this month,, in an effort to ensure he was fresh for the home Tests against South Africa and Pakistan.ddddddddddddThe first Test, against South Africa at the WACA, is still seven weeks away.Mitchell was taken to St George hospital in an ambulance this afternoon suffering a deep laceration to his left shin after colliding with some training equipment, Dr Orchard said.
