WEDNESDAY *Again Dinara makes a comeback from match point down to beat Dementieva 46 76 60 to reach the SF !!  *Fed takes out Gonzo after losing the first set 26 62 63 64 *Monfils beats Ferrer -- oh my 63 36 63 61 Monfils interview quotage: Q. In Monte‑Carlo, I remember you practicing with Marat Safin. He went crazy, and he said, Monfils, I don't understand. You have all available shots on your racquets, and you're just 90th player in the world. GAËL MONFILS: Well, Thierry told me that many times. After this practicing match with Marat he told me that, and at that time I had not realized. THURSDAY
Chatrier 2pm Start 
Safina - Kuznetsova
Jankovic - Ivanovic
Lenglen 11am Start

press conference quotage:
Q. Was your brother, Marat, watching the match today?
DINARA SAFINA: No.
Q. So he didn't send you any text message?
DINARA SAFINA: He did send me a message.
Q. Can we know what he said?
DINARA SAFINA: Simple: Well done.
Q. What can you tell us about your memories about Marat's Grand Slam semifinals?
DINARA SAFINA: Match against Roger in Australia. That was I think ‑‑ really, if I would still watch it either I would cry then, because it was just an amazing match and beautiful to watch.
It was funny, because that day we had to leave to Monaco. We had been in Moscow, and we had to finish the match watching it in the airport. It was in Moscow, so all the airport then was watching this match. It was really nice.

Little sis, the comeback kid does it again! LOL. Funny, at 5-2 I expected her to do it. She must be on cloud 9. Well done.
Hey, Gonzo can smash racquets better than the Big Yin. Who would have thought it possible? LMAO.
PS My broadband kit didn't turn up today. Now there's a surprise ...

Brother Marat, be proud and you can do it again, too. Yes, you have all the available shots on your racquets. and why not? You know better than anyone else where you deserve to be.

Get back to Paris Big Yin and cheer on wee sis! Just don't tell her you are there. Then when she picks up her first GS, you can give her a hug. You're obviously her hero - make it a family day to remember!
