Everybody, thanks a lot for all those great pics, interview, articles, reports, etc!!!

YUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! HE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
Molodec, Marat! 500 matches!!!!! COOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

;D

I only had the chance to watch a few games from the second and third set...and I can tell U there's just one question bothering me: WHO WAS THAT MAN ON THE COURT WHO WAS EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY,UNBELIEVABLY CALM? ? ?

He was wearing a white T-shirt and white shorts AND a cap! Is there anyone who knows who that gorgeous player might be? ? ?
Not to mention his great skills on GRASS!!! Man, this must be his favourite surface, right?

;D He is the one who said last year: "I LOOOOOOVE GRASS!" , right?

;D

If anyone knows who this player is, please let me know, O.K.?

Well, the debut of the description makes me think of Federer... But Federer has NO cap. So who is this guy ? Who could play so beautifully on grass? Man, I really don't know !

Thanks everybody for articles and photos, and THANKS TO MARAT FOR HIS MAGNIFICIENT 500TH MATCH!!

Good Moring Good Afternoon one and all ;D

Thanks for all the match reports and pics and media reaports everyone

Annie I love this bit too

For the moment, though, Safin is happy, he is winning and he is confident. And 14 stone of confident Russian thundering towards them should frighten the life out of most of his opponents.

Hahahha ;D

Andrada those pics of Paradon are great!! LoL he must have been sore today.

Mark, ermh....... I dont think he will be a walk in the park, but Marat if confident and focused, so my money is on Marat that's for sure ;D

Hugely strong and with the ability to play any shot in the book - and make up those that aren't - he can, if he wants, win on any surface. But, depending on his mood, he doesn't always want to.

5. One thing that got me a little worried yesterday (maybe it's my imagination, I don't know) is his appearance. Is it me, or did he really look tired, pale and skinny? I had a feeling he wasn't feeling well (it didn't show on the game, mind you) but I just thought he didn't look as healthy as usual...maybe it's just me anyway....

Annie you are not the only one. I was thinking the samething more or less. When you look back at the pics for the AO Marat seems to have 'aged'.
It may be the pain and the pain killers taking its toll also stress to some extent, he did say in one of those interviews that this has been a very difficult year for him and I don't think he meant just on the tennis court.

I really hope that his operation goes well and he
can get some rest, both mental and physcial rest.
