vivid imaginationOh Lordie, that writer was rather pleased they came up with the high school metaphor! :lol:
I wonder what else they tried apart from doubles that ended up being the last attempt?
- Did you congratulate her already?From a recent interview with Dinara's brother ( ):
"Of course I am happy about her, but the more important is for her to realize the meaning of this event. (...) I would like to wish her to remember very well her inner feelings in this moment. Unfortunately, sooner or later one ceases being number one. Those feeling she needs to preserve somewhere deep inside her mind. "

Tarpi said Dina won't play for FedCup team in this season. "the problem with Dina is that she like Bovina and Cherkasov doesn't feel level of physical activity and can't stop at right moment.she overtrained and didn't feel the ball" said Tarpischev who speaked with Safina recently.
here it isWhere is the interview? I would like to take a look at the whole thing if possible. Thanks!
It was made by Russian reporter after the official post-match press conference.Guess he did the interview over the phone or with a Russian reporter in Monte Carlo.
Steppy, I'll try to translate few of this words, that I think summarize best the whole interview:hmmmpfff
I can understand he wants to quit, and is tired of playing etc. And if that's what he wants, then :shrug:
But I'm a bit annoyed that he can still show brilliance and could have won more matches recently than he has, by just believing in his chances a little more... and didn't.
So true. :awww: I think he just wants us to want to kick his ass till the end. :shrug:hmmmpfff

agreed with TarpiGuys, pwease, don't get too deep in this. As I said earlier it sounds too severe in English The journalist tried to give him a guilt trip, but Marat didn't fall in the trap. All is fine, things go as planned. He smiles
Btw Tarpi also said that Marat could play good tennis 2-3 years more, if he wants to
thanksbtw the english summary translation is a bit misleading. After this part "Though there are several moments, which could change my mind" the journalist asked Marat to specify what moments exactly can make him change his mind and Marat answered that it's personal and not related to tennis.
:awww:“They are good together,” Islanova said recently. “Their spirits are pretty much identical. They have the souls of a brother and sister and always felt that way, and as parents we put so much effort and time so that they would grow together.”
so trueA remark from my TV commentator about Dinara being Nr.1 next Monday:
«As Serena will lose the points from her victory in Charleston last year, Safina will pass her in the rankings and become the Nr.1, which will seem a bit strange as she hasn't done much lately...»
I know she hasn't won a GS and that is the crown jewel in every player's career, but this sentence «Hasn't done much lately?» just pissed me off! A ranking consists of the points collected over a 52 week period and in that period all she did was to win Berlin, Los Angeles, Montréal, Tokyo, reach the final at Roland Garros, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Olympics, Sydney and the Australian Open.
Really???? i don´t now why they said that.... Dinara never goes to parties and things like that!! she works a lot... I can undertand Marat.... even if he is not but Dinara!!!.???Yes, it is and it proved to me once more why her brother doesn't even read Russian press :fiery: :fiery: One sports' newspaper celebration for her becoming Nr. 1 is a huge article, where at length they say how cold, arrogant and bitchy she is. She being cute just for camera, her brother being a jerk too. I have read half of it, and was pissed beyond words :fiery:
Dinara, stay on top and prove those idiots what you are made of
Couldn't agree more. I was shocked, when I saw it and thought at first it's some sick irony or humor. Usually SovSport write nice things, but this one is way beyond any journalism. they deserve not to even see any of the Safins for the rest of their lives, let leave have an interview :fiery: Those idiots critisize Safin parents for how they brought up their kids...that;s just :fiery: :fiery:
you should write a letter to the editorThis "article" killed me. I could expect anything from russian media but not this. Today is a big day for russian tennis and today is a big happy day for Dinara and her family. And what does the leading russian sports newspaper do? Do they write about how hard she worked for this, or about her determination, about tough times and difficulties? No, they come out with an article bitching about Dinara not being nice to the press. It's so low, it's just an attempt to spoil this day for Safin family, attempt to revenge for every time Marat and Dinara refused to give interview to them. Incredible.
Thank god, not all of russian press.But are all the russian press like this with her and her family?? poor girl.... thanks for the article!!!
I just read the article and it's so ridiculus that all I could do was laugh. It's petty, mean, bitchy, revengeful and spiteful. Actually it says a lot more about the author than Dinara, Marat or the Safin family. It sounds like something a 14 y.o. would write on her diary after not managing to catch the attention of the star athlete at her school.That article made me , but also, IMO, it was a little bit funny. I mean, the idea that either Marat or Dinara is a good enough actor to fool the entire world into thinking they're well-mannered, funny, and considerate and carry off that act for, like, 10 years, when in reality they are ill-brought up, rude, and graceless is... uh... hilarious. Neither of them can hide what they're thinking/feeling worth crap. :lol: If they were that bad, someone, somewhere, would have caught it on video by now. :lol:
(Also, speaking of rude, maybe it was just Google Translate, but what kind of an idiot goes up to someone in a closed car and demands an autograph? Dude, I'd tell you to fuck off, too. )
Congratulations, Dinara. Don't let the haters get you down.
That was actually kind of what I meant, you just said it much better. :lol: The idea that they smile for the cameras as if to put on some act for the world is hilarious, I've learned more Russian swearing from watching Dinara on TV than I have from hanging out with my Russian friends.They are both not too well-mannered, and they can be rude at times and Dinara swears on court like a soldier But it's only one part of their personality. Some journlists have problems with Safins exactly because they are not pretenders and they don't play by PR rules
