@ Daniela's facebook

Wouldn't worry about it.

I was hoping there would be a picture of Daniela and Stefan Edberg together(hopefully one will surface soon) so I was scouring the twitterverse very carefully,and the whole event seems to have been a 5 day booze-up,with ocassional bouts of tennis!

I'd have liked to have seen the look on the face of whoever ended up with Michael Russell.

Better Mike Russell than Vince Spadea.

At least you wouldn't have to deal with shocking attempts at rap music.
