ooohh...and hes playing a hotty!!! Is anyone going?

In my dreams

[/quote]Teresa are you in the U.K. and were you on the old forum a few years back,my memory is not too good?[/quote]

No dandy I live in the Caribbean, and no I was not on the old forum, dont know anything really about it, you mean the maratsafin site that closed? If so, I only ever visited never became a member.

Thanks for posting the oop,I take it that Marat will also be playing friday and Saturday as he has to complete 3 matches in the challenge.

A pleasure, and yes I would agree that he will have to play both Friday and Saturday, its what he wants, I think that why he signed up for this tournament
so he was guaranteed three matches.
(mind you he may have also had other motives )

I know he`s talking about being 25 as a pro tennis player... But when he says this kind of thinks I find them funny... "I`m already 25", hahahaha as if he would say "I`m already 60", hahahaha ;D ;D (Stop it Marat, you`re making me feel old ;D ;D)
