Truly wonderful to see Marat so relaxed and chilled, and obviously enjoying his life after tennis
All of these smiles are such a huge contrast to the angst and frustration he had over the last few years.
I'll never get bored of that smile, so keep 'em coming Marat!!

Fabulous find, Annie! Can't have too many huge hi-res pics IMO.

Love the extras too, Marat-dona , the infamous goal attempt etc. Do you feel like resizing / posting these? If not, am happy to do it!

if someone could large those pics would be really nice... Monkey can you please? I just don't know how to do.

Great pics, brazuca5, thank you! I enlarged a couple, using http://www.freeonlinephotoeditor.com/, to show the quality one can expect. It's OK but even the best photo editor in the world can't do a lot with small, low resolution originals. What do you think?

I did another, just beneath, as I thought one was too stingy ...

Pic from today, our lovely Rio Champions on Leblon beach (from website photo page)

[brazuca5copas]

Oh Leblon is a nice beach but Copacabana and Ipanema are incomparable... I hope he makes a visit.

I made some smiley happy screencaps to celebrate Marat's new found post-retirement bliss! Who needs sunshine when you have this man?

... still waiting for the Safin-Ferreira result ...
