Could it really be Marat? I thought this past March was the first time he visited Brazil.

I don't think it's him, wrong headshape, eyebrows...
besides he wasn't being coach by Marc Rosset while preparing 2008 and I seriously doubt he'd say to the press he was practicing "mixed doubles"

Looks like he's enjoying his 'holidays' LMAO.
Thanks for the finds, Monkey

You're welcome and I agree, the "mixed doubles" quote was obviously made up, it sounded way too sleazy to have come from Marat.

Thanks for the pics

Talking about mixed doubles in the Radio Sport interview he was told that him and Dinara are the best Russian mixed double, and they should play in London 2012 Olympics. He replied "That's not true. We played 3 matches, and won just one"

I so wish they would've won that Hopman Cup.

I hope he's not growing that horrible hair again

I am sure it has been posted (probably in the faux-pas thread, but I couldn't stop myself)

Seeing as it's been a bit of a drought lately, photo-wise, I thought I'd share these pics which have been burning a hole in my hard drive for years. I've even got official permission from the photographer, Toysoldier, to post!

Cincinnati Masters, 29 July 2007.

What great pictures! I didn't get anything close.

Well all know how MS feels about Cincinnati (have you ever been there?), but for photographers, it was a dream come true! It was hot, he always took his shirt off on the practice court, he usually practiced twice daily, and the staff was nice enough to print a list telling you exactly where he would be and when. Maybe he could come out of retirement just for that event this year. Maybe? Otherwise, I'll be forced to spend the entire time capturing a shirtless Federer, Verdasco, Feli, Haas, etc. They're all pretty, obviously, but none of them have the swagger and presence of His Royal Hotness.

Uh oh. The curls are my fav, but there's a fine line between hotness and "drug lord." Get thee to a barber, stat!

Thanks for all those pics.
