OK a news official announcement came out yesterday, for those who speak Russian here is the link sport.rbc.ru/tennis/index.shtml?/news/tennis/2005/04/27/27194645_bod.shtmlFor those who don't, here's what it says: Russia chooses lucky clay against France A quarterfinal match of the Davis Cup Russia-France will take place July 15-17, 2005 in Olympiyski sports complex in Moscow on clay surface with Roland Garros balls, Russian Tennis Federation announces. It is the surface, which 2002 Davis Cup final took place on. As it is known, Russians beat the French 3:2. The winning point was obtained by Michail Youzhny, who in a 5-setter defeated Paul Henry Mattheu. The surface is comfortable for Russian tennis players: Marat Safin, Nikolay Davidenko and Michael Youzhny have shown some great performances on clay. However, leaders of the French team Sebastian Grosjean and Mattheu like the clay, too. In total there had been 4 matches between the 2 teams in the Davis Cup and up to now it is a draw. But only once have the teams met on clay, in that famous 2002. We all know the result. RBC Sports |

I just wanna to find out how to buy a ticket not and them just go on the tournament. Thanks YOU 'RE COMING HERE?  ?? WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D  Sweetie, I have no idea how to do it over the internet, I actually think you can't. I booked mine through the tennis-russia.com website and then went to Olympiyski to buy it. I bought a 3 day package for a whole tournament and now they are really cheap, prices will go up April 30, then May 31 and then June 30. They will get more and more xpensive every month, so the faster you get them the cheaper they are. If you want I can buy tickets for you. E-mail me or send me a private message and we'll discuss the details. ;D ;D |

ily this is esp for you (ps i did not want to open a separate thread for this) Federer's return threatens British Davis Cup hopes By John Roberts in Rome 04 May 2005 The ominous news for Britain is that Roger Federer, the world No 1 and Wimbledon champion, will return to play for Switzerland in the Davis Cup World Group play-off against them on 23-25 September. Federer, who took a break when Switzerland lost at home to the Netherlands in the first round of the World Group in March, confirmed last night that he would be back for the tie, which is likely to be played in Geneva. In fact, he was lyrical about it: "I play with great joy in the Swiss team against Britain, and I hope my contribution will be that we stay in the World Group." There is an exciting possibility that Andrew Murray, the 17-year-old US Open junior champion who featured in Britain's win over Israel in March, will make his Davis Cup singles debut against Federer. Jeremy Bates, the British captain, said the draw was "fantastic" and welcomed the challenge of Federer, but added: "It's up to him to decide what he does, but it makes a bit of a mockery of the competition when leading players dip in and out. "Federer did not play when Switzerland had a chance of reaching the quarter-finals," he added, "and will come back when he's needed to keep them up." Greg Rusedski said Federer's presence would make it a more difficult task, but that he was looking forward to the match. Rusedski added: "You've got to think that Andy Murray has a great chance of playing. He's the one who has shown most on the court. The other players have got to show that fight to step over the others to get that place. But there is a long time to go before the tie. |

complete article: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/tennis/06/12/bc.ten.halle.ap/index.html"I hope to do well at Wimbledon," Safin said. "I played the best player in the world and I came close to beating him. You have to believe in yourself on grass."
Safin will see a doctor Monday about his left knee, which has troubled him for two months. He said he is considering skipping Russia's next Davis Cup series, which starts two weeks after Wimbledon.NOOOOOOO!!! |

As I said before.....it was too good to be true....oh well, at least I'll get the racquet anyway and will keep hoping for better luck next time. I just hope he recovers, that's all. However I think we should say bye bye to Russia-Argentina final now....we won't make it without Marat.....
*Annie walks off to sob in the corner* LOL
