Like Jiat, I don't believe that he's no longer a slave of his emotions too. He's a hippo and no matter how much he wants to be a monkey (didn't he recently say that if he's reincarnated he wants to be a monkey?) he's not going to become one.  You can change the way you behave so easily. Anyway, I'm waiting for some real test now. To see what's Marat's level now. |

ROTRL.... that's a tough choice for him to do! Agreed. But he tries to make efforts. I doubt he'll be one day totally free from his emotions (and i'm not sure i would like that anyway), but at least being able of not showing them too much might help |

more articles from chinaopen.com.cn the chinese version
Before last night’s mens’ final, the cry at the ticketing booth was “Come see Safin!!!!” At the packed stadium last night, the crowd was obviously on Safin’s side. The calls of “Come on Safin!!” energized Safin who after the match, acknowledged the crowd with a bow. He also tossed his white shirt and wrist band into the crowd. “Competing here makes me feel as if I’m competing at home. I’d like to thank the crowd for supporting me.”<br>
Although there were a few Russians in the crowd last night who were waving the Russian flag and cheering on Safin and Youzhny in turn, it did not prevent the Chinese crowd from cheering on their “leading guy”, Safin. Some cheered in English and others cheered in Chinese, disregarding the fact that their idol probably did not understand them.
The players might not understand the language, but applause is a universal language. When Youzhny played a good shot, the applause was polite, but when Safin played well, the crowd would go wild with applause. The “prejudice” of the crowd, made Youzhny a little “jealous”. “This is the first time I’ve experienced how having the crowd on your side can be a crucial factor in winning the match. However, I know that the Chinese crowd understand tennis. When I played well in the 2nd set, they cheered me on, except that they were not quite accurate in pronouncing my name. Next time, I’ll play even better and make them remember me.”<br>
Towards the crowd, Safin’s reward was to present them with his shirt and wrist band. Safin’s goodwill towards the China Open was also increased and he said, “I hope to come back next year and relive all this.”<br>
