Anyone.............Tell me something please Was the tie break always in effect for the 5th set at the USO??? I always thought one had to win the 5th set by 2 games  yes the USO has always had the 5th set tiebreak (well atleast as long as i remember) That is how Marat beat Kiefer in the 2002 USO, it was a tiebreak ;D I perfer 5th set tiebreaks, especially after i watched that Marat/Kiefer match, that match was already 4 1/2 hours long, I can't imagine how long it would have been if they hadn't had a tiebreak |

whoops! i was totally confused  yeah Nicki the tiebreak has always been ther in USO!! i remember an article i read last year about the ATP wishing it also existed in the other Grand Slam tournaments... like you said Nicky it's good that the match don't last for long (unlike the match of Santoro and Clement in RG this year  ).... but i think i prefer they continue until one of them wins 2 games more than the other, because losing in a tiebreak is sooooooo cruel!!! i mean it's already cruel enough in tiny tournaments, but in grand slams!!! you play five-setters, you fight for hours and finally you can lose very quickly on a few points! |

Marat has to be under tremendous pressure to prove himself today, its not simply going out there and winning this match, the eyes of the tennis world will be on him. His confidence has been a factor, and I just hope he can contain himself, stay calm, not choke and get thru this match. Enquist knows how important this is to Marat, and he will play him mentally if he can, I just hope Marat can block him and stay focus. Enquist has nothing to lose and everything to gain, Marat knows he has to win, and we all know he hates to be in that situation.'You have to, have to, have to' situation He has to be nervous, and rightly so, poor habibi. But if he can stay calm and collected, he will get thru. |

ARTHUR ASHE should mean coverage of marat for me at long last...but NOOOOOOOOO......paradorn above all others....  |
