Videa interview for JCF

Written transcript
www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/news/interviews/2008-05-28/200805281211976142858.html

Q. What happened? Why did you withdraw?

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Because my leg hurts a lot, and that's the reason why. I've suffered this pain for quite a while. I thought I had recovered for this tournament, but I played my first match.

It didn't hurt, but then the pain, I started feeling the pain again

Loved the pictures from Annie and i really like the one of Marat multitasking (eating/reading)

Found a transcript of the commentary on the day on RG website and had to share this gem with you all (not sure what the commentator is on, but....) - I think he's talking about half way through the third set.

"He then goes 4-1 up with an ace that he hit about 20 seconds ago and still hasn’t landed. Whoosh-tastic. Marat-mongous."
