The Big Apple is calling - US Open 2006

[SAFINNO1]

Thanks Lena for the pics.
Funny my mom said to me when she saw them pics " Why has Marat got a flea collar on???" and then questioned me why i was looking at a man tending to personal matters

The rain should be over for the day me think and so cause of New York - Marat will play no matter what the time in New York aslong as they have floodlights and this could easily be finished early morning for Marat!

[alsl]

flea collar..LoL

well its already 4 30 pm in NYC and they are still on the 1st matches on all courts at the USO..there are 4 more matches to be played,and Hewitt's to be finished before Marat comes on..and that might mean +4 hours (Mary Pierce is playing... )..no make that +5hours so if Marat does play he would play at 9pm ish..?

going back to sleep......well goodnight..or should I say goodmorning..

[safinbgfan]

Oh I want to stop raining!!!!!!!

[SAFINNO1]

Not too sound to downbeat but i think it's likely Marat will not play today - rain is beating down on NY- & as i write this message play has been suspended until tomorrow

it's nearly midnight in London and so i'm off to sleep

UDACHI MARAT!!!!!!!

[highwoodchica]

so...will he play tomorrow? and if so, when?

[highwoodchica]

sorry i just had to have a moment of self-congratulation...
