Yep tons of young talents stepping on the toes of oldies these days  That's life I guess. I would also like to outline Teimuraz Gabashvili during the Australian Open and his five set thriller with Lucas Dlouhy. It was on a non-show court but apparently it was a maniac match. Teimuraz lost the first two sets 3/6 1/6, then took the other two 7/6 7/6. In the fifth set he was two breaks down but managed to come back. He lost the match in the end  having saved 10  match points 14/16 And that considering that he got into the draw through qualies too Well done boy!!!!! You really deserved to win this but hey...that's sport Better luck next time  |

I wish I could translate it but it's really not that funny in English. First is a normal interview of our Tennis channel commentator with Zhenya about his AO match against Gonzo... then they ask him to interview Mitya and they chat about their perfermances at AO and all..but Mitya is playing the joker as always and is seriously answering Zhenyas pretty normal game related questions with a dead straight face but saying complete and utter bull..pretty funny if you know Russian but if you don't - it would spoil everything translating it..sorry |

Zhenya Korolev, happy belated birhday boy!!!!!!!!!! He turned 19 on Valentine's Day ;D ;D ;D He is still down with the same injury as Mitya  but Tarpischev said in two weeks time both are due for a medical which will determine whether it's possible to recover without a surgery |

Zhenya is only 19 - he should have a bright future and hopefully he will breakthrough when he recovers from his injury!
Which may be sooner than we think - he is on the draw for the memphis qualifying round and will play Hugo Armando 1st up!
