[Natasha]

round robin...i have to admit im not a fan of this format but i guess it means we get to see more of safin if he doesnt win!

[Giselle]

Remeber people, "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas"....

[Alya10]

Does anybody know if he is playing doubles too? I hope he is not, better focus on the singles that wasting energy and burden himself with extra matches

[lau]

I hate round robin..., but I think I made my point some time ago ;D ;D

JMDP (Juan Martín Del Potro) will play in LV too. He said several times he admires and likes Marat´s tennis.

[davis]

It seems that Blake, Malisse and Hewitt could drop out because of injuries. That would actually make Marat the No. 1 seed... LMAO! Not good for the tourny, though

[Annie]

Oh Marat as a number one seed would be a classic..I'd laugh for days LMAO ;D ;D ;D

[davis]

From the official Website:



I feel like I've been transported back to 2004, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

[Annie]

Back to the Future IV LMAO ;D ;D ;D Start the engine Professor, let's rock n' roll

[Happiness]

Hi everyone

Thanks ladies for all the udates!!!

Take Care

[Alya10]

Marat as Nr.1 seed in LV would hopefully be a "Back to the Future" thing
It might be just me, but I have a feeling he would not be too happy about being the Nr. 1 player in any tournament right now... flying under the radar is more confortable
kisses

[realitytvisntreal]

that truly would be hilarious! but in a good way... i hope that he has a good week, part of me wants him to do a blog!!!

[davis]

Well, Marat blogging will surely not happen again in the nearer future...

Srichaphan is out, Kunitsyn is in.

And Guga got a Wild Card ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Annie]

Guga YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D And same goes for Kunitsyn ;D ;D ;D

[breakingthehabit]

i thought i heard several days ago that hewitt got hamstring injury, so he maybe out as well
