Even though he lost, he should be very proud of himself. I know everyone probably thinks it's bad that Marat lost to a French WC, but I've been hearing about Ouanna for awhile - that he's a very talented up-and-comer. I knew this match would be a dangerous one for Marat because Ouanna could be flashy at times and could get the crowd behind him. That's what happened. I'm proud that even when he was 2 sets down and tied near the end of the 3rd, he didn't give up. He just could have said "f--k it" and tanked like he's done before. He kept fighting. He didn't let all the booing get to him. When things got tough, he didn't go completely berzerk. No over-the-top racquet smashing, screaming, and yelling at officials. He did lose it a bit out of frustration many times, but surprisingly kept it contained and stayed focused. I'm proud that he kept fighting until the END!
Losing 8-10 in the 5th after saving 3 MP's is a lot better than getting your ass kicked in straights, so I'm glad he fought back.
I'm glad that his last match at RG was a memorable one. I can't remember that last time I saw him get that pumped up!!!
And he can move!!!
See, it ain't all that bad --->

I can't get those chest pumps out of my head, it was glorious to see him like that, and tells me that he has a fire still under that cute little ass...
