Thank you for everything Magda  i didn't know about the mistake ES.com made.... i was online during the match, and with Jiat we tried to find a scoreboard that worked but found none  fortunately someone was posting the score on the tag board!!!!! so we knew he won i should have posted the good news here but i was in a hurry. I could have avoided you the shock eurosport caused you. Do they want us to have heart attacks? cuz Marat can do that himself, we don't need them to scare us  ;D Anyway, the person who posted the score said had the score from another person who was watching the match and said it was boring... well, when the first set end in a 6-0 it's obvious that it's not the best match yuo've ever seen ;D.... and apparently Marat made a lot of UE  .... but this score is good, and he won, that's what is important  |

Yay, he won!! Well done Marat!! Keep it up.
I also hope his next match is on Center Court, cos I too have multiscreen thing.
Oh and Me, what you said about your tv turning off when you press your red button, I remember the first year that they had Wimbledon interactive they had loads of complaints from peoplr who pressed a red button on their remotes, even though they weren't digital remotes thinking they would get the multiscreen!

Jiat, once again, THANK YOU I actually kinda forgot  Bad mieke, bad mieke..... but anywayz here it is: Men's Singles : Comments from SAFIN (RUS) after win 15 Aug. 2004
ATHENS, 15 August - Comments from Marat SAFIN (RUS) after his 6-0, 6-4 defeat of Karol KUCERA (SVK).
Q. You had a very, very strong opening set. What happened in the second set? Karol's game didn't improve quite that much. Was there a problem with the wind?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, it's a little bit of both. Tough conditions. We have very bad balls, I have to admit and I have to be honest. It's not balls that we used to play.
I don't know who choose to play with these balls, but it definitely made a lot of people suffering. And especially for his game, you know, it's a little bit windy, quite windy, and strange balls for him, for his game doesn't suit.
So first set it took him a little bit took him like all the first set to get used to it. But then he start to play better and better, felt little bit more confident on the court.
Q. Were you surprised with the few fans that were around the stadium, at least the number? Do you think that perhaps I know you made some comments a month ago, a little different than what you made a day or so ago. Do you think the people might just be watching other Olympic sports instead of tennis?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, but even this, I didn't see a lot of people watching other sports. If you check on the TV, there are not that many people that are really watching.
Q. Is that surprising to you? It's an Olympic Games?
MARAT SAFIN: It's not surprising to me. But I don't know what is the reason. But I definitely know there were some rumors that not many people are coming here. Even that I saw the rumours that the hotels, they are reducing 50 per cent of discount they're making on the rooms.
So I'm not surprised.
Q. Do you actually notice it? Some players say they're so focused they don't see anything. Do you?
MARAT SAFIN: Of course, we have to focus a little bit on our job, but we don't care about those kind of things. But still, we have eyes and we see that not many people are interested in the sports.
It's not like I'm catching you by surprise, no? You've noticed that also, right? Obviously.
Q. You were a little bit reluctant to come to begin with. Last night you were saying that you were actually happy to be here. What made you come if you were a bit reluctant?
MARAT SAFIN: Okay, that's the thing. It's a little bit it is a little bit different, Olympic Games, like for the tennis players than for other sport, for the other athletes because we have a little bit different schedule. We have 42 tournaments, 42 weeks we can play tennis, you know. For other athletes, they prepare for the World Championships, European Championships and Olympic Games. So basically they have three biggest event, and Olympic Games is every four years. For us we have four Grand Slam events a year.
So that's what I'm saying, it's a little bit different. You cannot just, you know, what is really important, what is not? Of course, Olympic Games is important because you're playing for the country and it's a little bit prestigious, and it gives you a good image. So that's the thing. I don't think it's not really nobody cares. Of course, everybody cares; otherwise, no people would come.
And especially that we have points also for winning this event. So basically if you play well, you can get lot of points, which is good for the race, to get to the end of the year to the Masters.
Q. So what made you decide to come?
MARAT SAFIN: I said the reasons.
Q. What would you think about having the Olympic Games as a team event?
MARAT SAFIN: Like Davis Cup? I don't know. Maybe it's a good idea. But still like this, maybe there is more chances to win more medals for the countries. You know, there is singles, doubles. Otherwise, it would be by team, is only one medal.
Q. Or a combination of team and individual.
MARAT SAFIN: Could be also a possibility.
