wow annie, what ya wrote was great and so true. being a safin fan aint easy and that is what i like about safin, you never know what ya are gonna get, he's unpredictable, he's not boring, he's exciting and funny and very hard to watch most of the time. I'm sad he lost as most of you all are, but imagine how he is feeling.
Thanks davis for your report and the pics.

Oh Annie, what you said is so true and I know what you mean. But what do you expect from us when the man we love and follow, yells, screams and has tantrums. We are following his lead. Maybe, it's time now that he follows ours? If we are brave, fearless, confident, positive, maybe it will rub off oh him. For better or worse, isn't that what they say?  Thanks Davis. Wish you had a better day [ie he won] but at least he showed up [he didn't even make it to the AO]. Looking forward to seeing your pics. Do you want my well informed view on the whole thing? It's because he was wearing the white. If he was wearing the blue and orange, he would of won!! * *that last comment was a joke [you know trying to lighten things up a bit] |

each loss is hard to take. it doesn't get any easier, anyway. but i've got a good feeling for roland garros, hope it comes true! ;D **people have mentioned confidence as an issue. maybe we should try to make a message book like we did at his birthday? maybe with longer messages? if he knew how many people support him and how much, maybe it would help a little.  well, looking forward to paris. i'll finally be able to watch the matches on tv! thanks Annie so much for your sincerity. and all of you ;D mulan ladies just keep buggering on! |

I thought about this too. Maybe we could set up a link to all our good wishes and send it to him or his management or the guy who knows the wife of the son of the man who tightens his raquet strings?. Or, better still, we'll send him a copy of the Mulan Sound track ;D  |

Sorry, I am being very facetious this morning. Upset that Marat lost and the lack of sleep that came with it. Forgive me   |

There is an English saying - the darkest hour is just before dawn - so let's hope marat, peter and other important people can work together to be ready for the sunrise.

I know Marat hates the net and I know the last thing Marat needs right now is to surf the net but if anyone ever comes here who knows Marat....this is what I have to say having digested this whole game now.... I am not going to look for excuses, I am not going to say it is going to be alright because I do not know whether it is going to be or not. I am not going to say it will pass and that this is just a temporary thing. I am not going to say (unlike a lot of people all over tennis forums) that Marat should quit, that I am not longer Marat's fan because I think this is a whole load of crap BUT Nobody said being a Marat fan is easy. Nobody said that a professional sports career consists of victories and ups.. a professional sports career is about suffering, pain, lows, losses and great victories that follow them... Marat has achieved results that many tennis players wouldn't even dream of reaching. Marat's tennis has been appraised by every single player on the ATP tour (apart from the prat Almagro probably who cannot even admit that Federer is a great player). Marat has been to the hell and back throughout his career and he always came back...sooner or later but he did. I have been sitting here for the past hour trying to digest what I had just witnessed...I was so pissed off while watching the game...screaming and swearing and calling Marat names in front of my TV  .. then I felt sad when he lost, I wanted to burst out crying I was so upset....it wasn't fair...why Marat...why are you doing this to us again? So I have been sitting here and you know what?  To hell with this match!!!! To hell with all the matches since that semifinal with Almagro!!!! I don't wanna know them...I don't wanna remember them....he lost??? so what??? we all lose, we all win....shit happens... Marat, my dear boy. Do u know why I am a fan of yours? Because there is no other player like you whether you win or lose. Because every time I turn on my TV or I am at a stadium and you are on court, I am hypnotised...my nerve cells are non existent because of you, my hair is turning grey because of you, I am becoming a nervous wreck because of you....AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! The adrenaline, the rush, the tears, the joy, the anger. the swearing...this is a part of me...and noone can take that away but you Marat...the day you end your career will be the day this part of me will die...and HELL I will miss it Take yout time....a day, a week, a month, a year...I don't give a damn!!!! Take your time and find yourself...find harmony within yourself and believe in yourself....we all know how well you can do...and YOU know it even better than us....try everything...even if it takes another 200 losses to find your faith...then lose them!!!!! But please remember....there are a few people here who are always behind you....in better or worse, rich or poor....we stand by you and those my friend are who we call Marat Safin Fans with capital letters.... May you and Peter find that sucker confidence and self-belief and chuck them back inside ya Gimme a shout if you need help fetching them ;D Annie, you made me cry again!!  I cried yesterday after the match, not becasue he lost but becasue of the look on his face during the match after the match, hell to be honest even before the match. I felt helpless because I know he felt helpless. Everything you've said Annie is spot on. I think Marat should do whatever makes him happy. Tha't s all I want for him. After all the pleasure that he's given us with the tennis he's played i think it's the least we could wish him. Anyways there is a online journalism site that i write for and I've just sent my editor an open letter to marat...i think it explains somemore of what i feel. I'll post the link here on tgfr as soon as he puts it up. Thanks again Annie. I really needed that...esp as my internet was not working when i got home last night.... |
