the schedule for tomorrow will be known in the afternoon


She hasn't played yet

BTW, today at 17.30 will be a press conference with Marat and Anastasia in the Haffner Hotel (so I guess it's also the place where Marat stays in Sopot). I don't know how it will look this year, but I remember that in the previous years the transcripts from intervievs were pathetic it wasn't like: question, answer, question, answer... etc., but it was all written as a one report . Anyway, like I said, I don't know how it will look this year, but I just want you to know that, so you wouldn't be surprised it you saw the transcript.

Hmm...there are pictures of her playing on that site. Well, I thought it was a match, but it was probably training or something then...

Thanks for the info anyway. Any transcript is better than no transcript

sometimes it takes me some time too, but it depends on the hour... Usually problems start when there are interesting matches, coz the site has many hits.

>>here<< is a short article from the site (I can't copy the text so I give you only the link). They mention about Marat in the last paragraph. The funniest thig is that the Polish version is a bit different... They say there: "Considering Marat's changeable character it may be hard to get some addition to our collection" I mean what was that? It's like they're trying to say that Marat is a stupid jerk who wouldn't like to give anything

Yeah, they also thought Marat won't come? Too bad Marat so insists on keeping his promises!!!!! OK, it's actually very admirable and I'm not mad at him at all!!!

ok i'll try to write a little report from Sopot.

so today i went to buy a ticket for tomorrow.
Then i turn araund on Sopot ,and when i woudl like to back 'home' , i turn in haffner street.
Then i go and approach court.
When I look behind bush i saw practise Marat. He was without shirt and looks very well
I don't make a photo because my camera haven't zoom , he was a long way away , and bush distrub.
Then i go far on stairs and I see more... But he end quickly. i just hear that he mad abaut some kinde of his move (i love when he get's mad)
And then he get out of the court.
I stand on stairs and after few minutes i saw Marat walking with Wald to Haffner hotel for conference.
I go to him and asked abaut photo. (i forgot language in my mount, and i forgot ask him abaut anything , and ofcourse i forgot abaut authograps)
He say Yes ofcourse.
Marats look sad. I hope it was just tired after practise , and strees before conference.
When he turn and want to go i thanks for photo and say 'good luck' Then he look at me , smile and thx.

But the worst was because i forgot that Wald are polish and i must look like last idiot. buts ok i have photo with Marat ;D ;D ;D
In next week i try to share photo with You.

Like I've already told you - you're so lucky Patri ;D

And when I was watching the news they showed a bit from this press conference. You're right Patri, he looked a bit sad... or I would say bored...

[Carolineonline]

Excellent report, Patri, thanks for sharing with us! At least you got a photo with the man. Maybe you'll get his autograph etc another time I know how nerve-wracking it can be, seeing him in real life, so don't worry about it
