[flagada]

Hello,
I'm a new comer.
iI'd like to know on which TV Channel i could follow, watch matchs concerning russian team, which should begin the next week ?

Thanks for your replies.
(i'm so eager to see marat play his best tennis ... not like in his last tournament (EAU) ).

[tall_one]

telling us what country your are from might help

[sirius]

if u're in russia or estonia...haha...u might get it on russian tv...
if u're in asia...they usually don't show the early rounds....usually only show the semis and finals... in the early rounds...it's just a highlughts thing of all the ties played.

[annie]

Hmmmmmm it might help if you told us which country you're in. Ha ha ha....Then maybe you could get some help

eastern standard time (new york city, USA) is what the clock is set to, you can change it to fit your timezone by going into you profileand changing the "Time Offset." I think putting +5 in it will probably make it right but you might have to put +4 or +6 to make it correct

[flagada]

Thnks for the time
and for the channel ?

Nope Eurosport do not have rights to DC ties well at laest not British Eurosprt. so i think it is bad luck for you.

If Marat won every tournament he entered wouldn't be fun because there will be no more racket smashing, swearing and quarralling with the ampire....and Marat is so charming when he does that eh?

Marat does the racquet smashing thing even when he wins matches/tournaments...so wouldn't it be better if he just win them all even while doing it?

Here's a fresh link to an article in Russian about upcoming Davis Cup. Who needs help translating, feel free to ask. Generally, it says that the guys held a press-conference and are training hard and ready to go. Chileans arrived in Moscow and started training, too, however their very realistic about their chances without Massu. Tarpischev definitely said Marat will play singles (like who else???) and wants Youzhniy to play too. Youzhniy's coach however isn't too happy since Misha's knee is still troubling him. He says it healed but still bugging him when he puts too much pressure on it.

Combined team of Russia.



Question: Misha, in connection with that you were disturbed with a injury of a knee, how do you feel for today?

Misha: I already played in Dubai last week, there is a painful syndrome, but all together is already better.

Question: Shamil who will be second number of combined team? You have already decided?

Shamil: Early to speak about it, but in soul I have already decided, who will play.

Question: Shamil, the command(team) the USA involves Andre Agassi in work in combined team, and Zhenya Kafelnikov can play?

Shamil: If he wants he will, certainly, can (collect) the form and play.

Question: Ìarat, how you consider, what main danger represent Chile?

Ìarat: Any match is difficult. We do not know, who will be 2nd number, Gonsales is good, so the match will be difficult.

Question: Shamil, where Nikolay Davydenko? Whom do you plan to put to play a pair?

Shamil: Nikolay at 11 o'clock only has landed. He has asked for 2 days off which he spend in Germany. As to pair we have two strong pairs and who will play, it becomes clear on results of the first day.

Question: Ìàrat, what you know about second number of the Chilean combined team?

Ìàràò: I am familiar with i(him), saw as i(he) trains, but did not play with i(him) never.

Question: Ìàrat, it is more complex(difficult) to you to play before the public for itself or for a command(team)?

Ìàrat: In this case it is easier to play for a command(team) because for you cheering the whole public, and if you play for yourself and you lose, someone can be disappointed in your game and accordingly react.

Question: Ìàrat, frank interview to " The Soviet sports " somehow will affect your game?

Ìàrat: How it should affect? How it can affect? Stop! Are you serious? You all wanted the truth and I told you.

Question: When Peter Lungren worked with Federer, i(he) came with i(him) on draw Davis Cup to Moscow. Where now Peter and why t(he) has not arrived with you to Russia?

Ìàrat: Probably, you do not know, but Peter had agreement with Federation of tennis of Switzerland, (he) looked young guys, went with the combined team. With me other it is attitudes(relations). We shall spend the following of one and a half month in America, therefore (he) wants now maximum time to spend with children, and the wife.

Question: Marat, that fact, that your second trainer the Swede and now your sister have the Swedish trainer, whether is in it any pattern or it is accident?

Ìàðàò: No ,no pattern. The new trainer Dinar’s very good friend of Peter, they played together at their time. Therefore in Australia we have made the decision to try him out. It has yielded results, Dinar has won good tournament in Paris. So it is not a pattern.

Question: As is known, the ending of a D.Cup. is the same days as happy birthday of Shamil . Guys plan any gift to make Shamil? (all long think, recollect, surprised, can not remember. )

Tarpishev: you think, that because of weather conditions we so shall (delay) a match? (everyone are laughing)

Ìisha: I think, the victory will be the best gift for Shamil.

Question: Ìàrat, doyou know about Ìàrselo Riosa’s leaving? Do you remember the time when in Chile you together played indicative matches?

Ìàrat: I played with Ìarselo very much for a long time, in 99-th year, therefore almost I do not remember these matches. But in Chile very much it was pleasant to me, the remarkable country. Yes, I heard about Marselo’s leaving. (he) the excellent tennis player. Well played on all coverings. Such people are necessary for tennis. Now there is Roger Federer, but it some other type of character. But such as Rios are necessary for modern tennis.

Question: Ìàrat how you could compare combined teams to the time when Eugeny Kafelnikov played?

Ìàrat: the Command(Team) changes. Did not think, that I shall find myself the oldest in a command(team). When Eugeny left , I could not think, that we will have such strong command(team). We can play on any coverings it is a little success that we will need.

Question: Misha, after the Cup of the Kremlin you spoke, that you have a strong desire to win . What about now.

Misha: Yes, the same strong desire. The desire to win has increased even more.

Thanks for the article and welcome.

Interesting that Peter has a wife and children. I wonder if she ever goes to the tournaments? She would have to be a very understanding wife.

I know the hair is not so great now, we can only hope he get's too hot with it sooner or later!
