Hi
I saw the match but tv didn´t show the trophy ceremony I really want to know what Marat have to say
About the match, I think that:

- the first set was head to head and he only loses because he did two silly mistakes in the final of the set
- the second one was really cool, both play well and the tiebreak oh, it really mess up with my nerves But he had some opportunities to break Roger's serve during the set
- in the first game of third, Marat plays really good and it seems that he will run for victory but then started a role of mistakes of the line referee supported by the chair man. Marat had reasons for complaining because the balls that he claims were good. Once more, we see the unique reactions of Marat ;D And you can believe it? Even Federer laughs(a thing that I thought that could be impossible, he's really a man that doesn't show any emotions )

But it was a really good week for Marat and I'm really proud of him
I just hope he wins the pairs

Thanks Mariana ;D
You were so lucky to have seen the match
and thanks for sharing the details with us.
Its really really hard when line calls go against you esp in a match so close as this one.

I'm so mad that the umpire didn't look at the lines. He gave him wrong points where there where none.
But he was second best. I hope in Wimbleton he will do better.

Hi Teresa Here in Portugal, we have a specific sport channel that shows some tennis tournaments

Lau, nice picture of Marat protesting with referee

I don't really think Marat's gonna win Wimby, even if what I saw today gives me lots of confidence ! A quarter would already be perfect :]

Mariana you are soooo lucky

and yes I liked that pic to, hahahah, Marat is something else, the umpire does not even look interested in what Marat is saying, no wonder Marat was pissed off, and as Satin said, he did not even bother to go look.
