Hi guys,
I was just watching the sportsnews, and they showed some bits and pieces of the Ordina Open pressconference, it was all pretty boring, till they anounced the players, guess who's coming over to the Netherlands to play the Ordina Open, MARAT!!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;Djeej!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Just to make sure I double checked, so I looked on the site and his name is right there!!!! So I guess he's coming here ;D
Well gotta go, I have to finish my happy dance now!!! ;D
-xxx-jes me

Where's that on the site? mmmz weird, if you chose to view the site in English, the link isn't there, but if you view it in Dutch it is. In fact the English site has a lot less options than the Dutch site. You can't play the game "beat the machine" on the English site, it's a shame, if you beat the machine you get EVERLASTING FAME and a small present. I beat the machine!!!!!! but anyway, back to where you can find where it says Marat will be at the Ordina Open but if you go to the site ( www.ordinaopen.nl or www.ordinaopen.com it doesn't matter which one you chose, they're both the same, I thought the .com would be in English, but you start off in Dutch with both sites, there is the possibillity to view the link in English though, but somehow you don't get the players information 2004 link on that one) you'll see a square on the left side of your screen which says "toernooi informatie" (the square I mean is just above the pic of the tennis player) and underneath that is a list of links, and you chose "speler informatie 2004" it's the bottom link you'll see a list of players, Marat included. I hope you're able to find it now!!!! -xxx-jes me |

this is what the site says about Marat:
"Marat Safin has always been an indolent player with so much talent that it all seemed to come so easily to him. In 2001 he won the US open, but after that he was faced with a setback, mentally and physically
By now the Russian is back, fit and better than ever. He proved that this year at the Australian Open, where he beat Andy Roddick and made it to the final. Last year Safin had to cancel playing at the Ordina Open due to an injury
Entry Ranking 1 April: 33 "
(p.s. the part where it says he won the US open in 2001 isn't just another one of my stupid mistakes, but this is what it said on the site. all I did was translate it from Dutch to English)

ME!!!!!! are u going to be going for the tourney? how far is the place from you? I think it's about 45 minutes by car and about 1,5 hours by public transport, that kinda depends on which connections you take, if you travel by train most of the way, you'll be faster than when you mainly travel by bus, but anyway it's not THAT far away from me. ;D Jaaaaaaaa...Me'ke... ikke gaaaaaaan!!! I definetly wanna go there.. soooooow.. I really hope I can.. I dont have off from school then.. but I can miss a day right When I heard THE NEWS...waahhh.... I couldnt but jump.. whiiiieeeeeehh.. he´s comming..he´s comming.. ;)Caroline I was SO happy when I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. I hope I can go, I really want to go!!! But I fear I might have exam week that week  (damn!!, why do my exam weeks always seem to coincide with big tennis events, I had an exam week during the AO too!!!) If I just had regular classes, I would've taken off a couple off days without even thinking about it twice, but I can't miss more than one exam, I only get to re-take 1 exam of all the exams from the last 3 exam weeks. And I really should use that 1 re-take to actually re-take an exam that I screwed up majorly!!! I guess that's what you get when you're talking here instead of studying, (but the bright side of that is that my English marks are GREAT!!! ) hopefully there'll be a Cultural and Artistic Development day, those are usually on friday, so he HAS to make it that far!!! If I do have a Cultural and Artistic Development day I think I'll suddenly feel to ill to participate in that day ;D. I can miss that day and talk my way out of it (whereas missing more than 1 exam would mean that I won't be able to pass this year and I'm not doing this year again!!!!), just probably have to do some extra indepent cultural activities, and a quite a few hours of detention, but it'll all be worth it!!!! oh it'll be worth it!! I want to go!!!! You are so lucky ME! How come you will get to see Marat and I wouldn't?! That's not fair. Oh come on Vass, cheer up, you got to see him at Dubai right? And if you want to see him again, just come over to the Netherlands ;D -xxx-jes me |
