Hey cool pic sirius.Where did u get them from?Is that juan Carlos Ferrero he was with. i also think those where taken yesterday as they all practised yesterdayfor the china open.
Anway this is the draw for the China Open
Carlos Moya VS 1st Qualifier
Glenn Weiner VS Lee Hyung-Taik
2nd Qualifier VS Okun, Noam
Jean-Rene Lisnard VS Paradorn Srichaphan
Rainer Schuettler VS Paul Baccanello
Mikhail Youzhny VS Ivo Heuberger
3rd Qualifier VS Davide Sanguinetti
Wang Yu VS Dominik Hrbaty
Taylor Dent VS Hicham Arazi
Jarkko Nieminen VS Guillermo Lopez,
Lu, Yen-Hsun VS Zhu, Ben-Qiang
Kristian Pless VS David Nalbandian
MARAT SAFIN (RUS) VS ALEX BOGOMOLOV Jr.
4th Qualifier VS Lu, Hao
Lars Burgsmuller VS Kevin Kim
Justin Gimelstob, VS Juan Carlos Ferrero.
So it is going to be a great result if he is too win this with Ferrero , Nalbandian and Hrbaty in his draw. But we all know he can easily win this hoping he is happier about the US Open.

Oh no....I thought the beard was gone for good....  Ah well.... So Marat's arrived alone?! That kind of surprises me... I thought maybe he'd have at least Walt travelling with him...? And where's Peter?! Maybe they're travelling seperately...they seem to do that alot anyway... Thanks for all the piccies, Jiat! Ah...you know my weakness for Leonid.... I thought that was lace on his sleeve at first (  ) then realised it's just the design pulled tight over his rippling shoulder muscles ;D ;D  (LOL!) And Marat with his mouth full of food?! Now there's a surprise... ;D I can just imagine Leonid saying to the waitress: "Can you remember what I ordered? Good! Because Safin just ate mine...." |

found an article on te chinese version of the tourney site. u might wanna go babelfish it cos when it finally gets on the english site, it'll probaby be a babelfished version anyway. i haven't got the time to translate it now, sorry...maybe i'll do it tonight after i get back. it's basically talking abt marat's training session. I WILL TRY TO GET DOWN TO IT TONIGHT so u guys will have sth to read in a non-babelfish, understandable manner. if u babelfish, please remember to select "simplified chinese" and not "traditional chinese" www.chinaopen.cn/20040912/n221994294.shtmlone more thing. just realised there are actually more yummy pics on the chinese version of the site than the english...here's the url... www.chinaopen.cn/s2004/s221226452.shtml |

It's sure that they'll invite Marat to chat with fans, becaust he is one of the most popular players in China. Many fans went to watch his practice on the court and called his name in Russian which they just learned. It's very boisterous. ;D
