What a lovely positive thought! Let's hope Marat actually wants it as much as he did then...

Okay, I’m extremely bored today , so let’s do some math.
The Masters Events are coming up and while there’s a 96-player-field in Indian Wells and Miami, the European tournaments are much smaller, with only 56 players competing. The official cut is at ranking no. 44, which means in order to directly get in (without being dependent on players withdrawing) Mr. Safin needs to climb 20 ranking spots as of today (which equals more or less 200 points). On top of that, he needs to do it to certain deadlines:
By March 10th for Monte Carlo, i.e. after Memphis and Las Vegas
By March 24th for Rome, i.e. after Memphis, Las Vegas and Indian Wells
By March 31st for Hamburg, i.e. after Memphis, Las Vegas, Indian Wells, and Miami (I hope; it seems rather during Miami?)

Sadly, he can’t just gain points; he can also lose points, notably in Las Vegas where 75 points for a semi final are at stake. So: Ideally we need a win in Memphis, a final in Las Vegas and a Quarterfinal in Miami or Indian Wells . Am I too pushy here, lol ;D?

Good luck Marat – please make it to Hamburg, it seems the whole tgfr board will be waiting for you there And I would be embarrassed if I couldn't offer my guests Hamburg's main attraction, lmao

there's no pushing in here, calculus is calculus, and facts are that Marat is normally able to achieve this and better with the game he's shown lately! so let's hope he's got the sense and the fire to climp rankings, he can do it fastly!

Had to laugh about your enthusiasm just because he played a couple of decent matches this year. ;D But it's surely great that there are people who think as positive as you do I'd be more than happy if he could actually pull it off. Davai!

tournaments are now lagged by one week compared to last year: so he actually lost the las vegas points already this week, hence the plummet

Oh dear..the only way is up Marat, the only way is up...

He already lost the semifinal points from last year's LV tournament?? Weird .....

I do hope his rankings will get higher though, otherwise i fear for the rest of the to be played schedule

[justsafin]

Marat needs to collect alot of points in the states to get into Monte Carlo......

87......I didn't know his ranking dropped this much.....Stay focused and kick Hewitt's butt!!!!! DAVAI MARAT!!

[helloticky]

think positive last year at Indian Wells only in R64 .....5 points...so this year if he get through R32 ....it's mean more 5 points.... ;D ;D....but he have to get a tough match for the first round..... ...that's gonna be hard....I hope he will do well...go go Marat

[happy]

I think that Marat is down now!!!!!! It will be hard for him to believe in his game! So let´s think clear, not like with pink glases!!!! Marat is 28 years old, I mean I believe in him and in his game, but I think he must want to win really on himself, and I don´t know if he really wants!!!! You know what I mean? I think if this year is over without any success maybe he will retire!!! I don´t hope that, but that´s my personal feeling!!! Sorry!!!! Maybe I am false!!!!

thats odd so does that mean that even tho Marat lost today, he doesn't go lower in the rankings??

i am a tad confused!!!

That will depend on the guys below him ... if they'll do good this week, they will gain points, and unfortunately Marat won't anymore this week, so -> lower ranking
