PimPim returns to the ATP Tour!
Great news for PimPim fans! I can't believe it myself ^^ Former ATP World No. 9 Joachim "Pim-Pim" Johansson of Sweden announced on Friday that he would resume his professional tennis career starting at the If Stockholm Open, where he has received a wild card for the main draw, which starts on Monday. |
Stockholm will be his only tournament in 2008 (remember those great results he had there just two years ago?) but he's looking to ease back to a full schedule in the second half of 2009. PimPim - how about a trip to Australia in January? :D
It's official - PimPim has retired from tennis
 Swede Joachim Johansson has announced his retirement from professional tennis after three years with shoulder injuries.
"Taking that into account it is hard for me to reach my objectives and for that reason it makes it impossible for me to continue my challenge.
"This is a decision that has developed during the last month. Now I will set myself new goals but whatever happens I will always continue to play tennis." |
Good luck with everything PimPim - we hope to still see you around the tennis world.
Davis Cup Updates!
Finally! PimPim played the first singles rubber in last weekend's Davis Cup semi final. Although he was defeated by Andy Roddick in straight sets 7-6(4) 7-6(3) 6-3, it was great to see him back! Photos and an audio clip have been added to the site. I will add some videos (hopefully) during the next week when I get the chance.    
On the Bangkok entry list
Well, PimPim is on the Bangkok entry list! The tournament starts on September 25 so let's see whether he has fully recovered. 
Out of Rotterdam
Still out :( Regrettably, Tournament Director Richard Krajicek announced this evening that Mario Ancic (9), because of a strong flu, and Tim Henman (38), with a injured knee, cancelled appearance at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament. Also Sebastien Grosjean (45) and Joachim Johansson (156) called in injured. The withdrawn players will be replaced by Philipp Kohlschreiber (63), Janko Tipsarevic (64), Daniele Bracciali (66) and Christophe Rochus (73). [...] |
