they are nearly dressed the same...it looks like a computer game with identical players. I have to look at their feet to see everytime they change ends to see who is where. Their only apparent clothing difference is the colour of the socks ;D |

Marat is taller and leaner lol, but in a PC screen sometimes it's hard to see at first ;D I'm not seeing umbrellas anymore and there are two guys sweeping the court from side to side... People seem to be coming back in also... Your right invencible, the darn court is too empty!!  |

Good luck, Maratik!

Marat wins the first set whew. cut out the errors big man. you should have won this many times over. you're clearly a better player than wawrinka. just need to stay cool.

God, help him ..... I hate this becuz it's not about skills or technique......  I hate this becuz it's not Waw is playing well or whatever... and I hate this becuz I am still going to Cincy and so afraid he can't enter the main draw. ======================== well, end of it. end of my mumbling all night. sigh....another WC gone. Good luck on the next tourny, still hope for the best. |

I still don't think this loss has to do with his knee injury. I saw the full match on TV. he was playing well in the first, despite the unforced errors. and then he lost his cool and the unforced errors started piling on. He is very mentally fragile. instead of playing these tournaments against these top players right away in the first round. He should be entering challenger tournaments just to get the feel, get more match practice, and it will give him a chance to work on his first serve and errors.

You've heard it before Big Yin, you should have won that match. 68 friggin' unforced errors - you've hit your max for the month. Quit it!I was expecting to see you play Andy in the next round. Although he's got a fight on his hands at the moment with Del Potro.
I have only one demand to make of you. Please, please slow down a bit between points. You need more time to think ... and calm down and refocus.
On the plus side, you played some lovely net shots. LMAO. Chin up and get to bed now.
FG
PS have a good night's sleep Mrs Annie.
Another PS Del Potro has just acquired my back pain ... it ain't looking good for him.

Where did the Knee Injury bit come into it??? Mentally fragile??? - I thought he was the opposite . But sorry Arvind the day we see Marat in a challenger tournament is the day we will cease to exist - he probably will never enter a qualifiying tournament ever again! Although he won 1st set it wasnt vintage Marat - too many UE, low 1st serve rate, got broken under pressure when serving for set but still won a TB. 2nd and 3rd set was embarrasing, his capitualtion in these sets was shocking - i cant remember watching such a depressing Marat match - no support, no energy it was so flat! First match i have seen of Marat since AO this year and looks like i havent missed much - the odd spectacular shots, the aestheically pleasing 2 handed backhand apart from that no thanks Marat. I want to know what is going on with serve - he has lost all menace on it - not so many free points coming from them. He has lost weight and possibly some power too. TBH if he is too perform as he did in the 2nd and 3rd sets i dont think he merits WC - these can go to up and coming locals, but i suppose the tournaments are business and only think of $$$ |
