Poor Marat But I think that he enjoyed this match especially second set and the beginning of the third.He played without any pressure,many beautiful shots.Today Wojtek Fibak has been a special guest of polish commentators of the Eurosport.He knows Marat very well,they are good friends.They often talks eachother.(not so long ago Wojtek was in Marat's house in Geneva).He was saying all the time that Marat is one of the most adorable players on the tour.

Yep, poor Marat. Really sad and disappointing tournament for him.

Thanks for sharing that, Balaenopteramusculus. ( ) Yes, Marat is adorable. The most adorable on the tour in fact! :angel: I agree, Marat hit some really beautiful and amazing shots. Who else can hit those shots? No one. It was a real pleasure to watch. Just too bad he wasn't able to sustain it long enough to win the match. Oh well, at least now he'll get some much needed rest before DC final which i think is much more important to him.

Udachi Marat!
