Maybe Oscar will suffer from a let down after having a big win today! I am sad because TV coverage in the states doesn't start until Saturday. Hopefully there will be a stream.

Does this mean my Big Pixie is likely to play on Friday? And I'll be stuck in a meeting!  Ok, agree that Herny is likely to be a clay courter, so he's likely to be happier with having a bit of time to play his shots. You know what that means Big Yin, whack that ball back and keep it in play - don't give him too much time to think, make him play another shot. Don't rush. He'll want to slide into his shots, and not take too many steps. Keep him moving. Take control at the outset and keep the ball going wide - use your power. Are my fairy eyes deceiving me, are his shoulders getting bigger? |

Heat, humidity, alligators, Mojitos and Miami Beach - let the fun begin! ;D If only there were no humidity, life would be extra good ;D  Will be in Miami only for a couple days  -- actually still trying to get caught up on everything after IW   Be down there Sat/Sun (part of Friday too, not sure how much, depends on the drive -- hopefully Marat will play later in the day ) yeesh, some surprises today: Baghdatis (he resurfaces!) beat Gulbis (!), and Kukushkin (who?) over Haas (!!) saw Oscar a few times in IW -- he and Marat practiced together one day, if memory serves me right ... so no total unfamiliarity |

Hello TGRF...I've been away sorry. I will be going on friday hopefully he will play that day. The price tickets are not recession friendly and with my unemployment its all I could afford, if he wins on the second round I might be able to go next week. . Was expecting your name to pop up come Miami our resident Miami blogger - hope you have a great time He's already practising     Annie: Samba? lol Safinno: I'll do my best If anybody comes up with any info let me know. |

I sent you a pm... just replied Hey everyone - I was at the tourny today - amazing! No big guy sightings for me yet, i'm hoping for tomorrow! I did manage to get up close to DT and Youzhny - the "other Russians" lol. I also got a Fed autograph by being in the right place at the right time! But, I digress.... I am on a mission to get tons of Marat photos, so, I'll keep you posted. Can't wait to see his match on Friday - he should win this one...  |

Just checked the scores. So my Big Pixie won 6-4 2-6(?) 6-1. He had a wummin's match! LMAO. A win's a win I guess. Well done. Get the next one done in straight sets though.
And get some sunblock on that neck. It's looking like a half-done steak.
FG

Good thing that he remembered to wake up in the end. LMAO CONGRATS! VAMOS MARAT!! |

Be down there Sat/Sun (part of Friday too, not sure how much, depends on the drive -- hopefully Marat will play later in the day
