No Russian til the semis. ;D ;D ;D WooHoooo.

[carole]

Thanks a lot for the draw !
Okay so he picked a french man, Marat's often doing good against my compatriots ! Mahut is a quite young one, serve and volleyer, talented but nothing that big threatening... But on indoor i guess his style of game can be dangerous because he served great and put pressure by going often to the net...

[SAFINNO1]

Thanks for the draw -

Now what are the chances of an all russian Semi Finals!!!!!!!! If they play to US Open form then it will be!

Mahut is a tricky player took him to 3 sets in Washington. so who knows

DAVAI MARAT!!!!!!!!!!! & ALL RUSSIAN BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reese]

Thanks for the draw and the information about videostreaming. I hope they doing it this year too
All the best for Marat and the other boys
I know you two ladys will have a wonderful time. I´m waiting for your pics and reports ;D ;D ;D ;D ROCK ON [img src="http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys2/15_8_200v[1]_2.gif"]
