;Dhooray! The prospect of Marat playing the singles match instead of Davydenko give me the chills! That means Tarpishchev thoroughly trusts him.

Deserves...present tense. Anyway, you still got that right! He's always dependable during DC ties he's played in...so it's just right that Tarpi gives him that benefit.

God that radio interview is one huge trip LMAO, they totally sounded like they had too much to smoke LOL ;D

I just read a blog of one of the journalists who went to our team training today. Football was tons of fun apparently with all the boys laughing and Marat, Igor and Mitya scoring goals ;D Then they moved inside to hit some balls. Mitya and Marat practiced with Sasha and Andrey Olkhovskiy. Atmosphere was mega friendly and everyone joked around a lot. Both made some mistakes which were corrected by the crew and Tarpi but all in all things are not looking bad at all so let's stay on the lookout for further developments.

Joke of the day: Marat won a tie-break against Mitya and someone shouted out: "FINALLY! A breakthrough after Australia!!!" LOL They had a good laugh

On Monday, April 7 on a dirt court MSA "Luzhniki" was the first official day of training before the match 1 / 4 Russia Davis Cup finals - Czech Republic, scheduled for the coming weekend.

Russians gathered almost at full strength. Not only winner missed Miami Nikolay Davydenko, who is expected to arrive until Wednesday. When visitors came through the courts to deal with, Russian tennis players have gone together for one of the many sites luzhnikovskih to hold friendly soccer match. And what can be a better player for detente-odinochnika as teamwork is not a game!

Football game as teamwork allows feel the team spirit, cohesion and unity. That is why Davis Cup eve of the holding of such matches is essential. On the field reigned cheerful and friendly atmosphere, it was noticeable that the tennis game is a great pleasure, they behaved relaxed and unconstrained, and the case is releasing to the comrades all kinds of jokes. And, of course, in the match and were bare. Sumeli excel and Igor Andreev, and Marat Safin, and Dmitry Tursunov. Those who have watched this unusual event, also handed good mood athletes.

Team Czech Republic meanwhile trained in the sports hall. First, the court went on the 169 - I rackets colorful world blondes 26 - year-old Lucas Dlugy and Pavel Vizner, in the left ear with a lady earrings. They played under the direction of team captain Yaroslav Navratila. Czechs often perekidyvalis replicas and laughed. When the court came to Tomasz Berdyh and Radek Shtepanek, (they seem to have just arrived in building sports, as were dressed in jeans and jackets), the guys on the court even more excitement and started something active discussion. Unfortunately, to understand the fascinating interview in the Czech language correspondent for "hosting" failed.

The next call that is already trained and Tomasz Radek - Two leading Czech tennis player team. 22-year-old Tomas Berdyh - 9 - and number in the world ranking, and 29 - year-old Radek Shtepanek - number 28. Coaching easily passed, it included a standard set of tennis player: game on the back line, the grid supply - a reception. After training team leader guests paid attention correspondent "hosting" by answering a few questions. This interview read later.

But it is followed by Czech Russians turn to enter the court. This couple was extremely neat and Marat Safin otrastivshy impressive beard Dmitry Tursunov. Sparringovali with Andrei Olkhovsky and Alexander Volkov. Dmitry as always pleased his charge, a sense of humor. Showing team doctor Sergei Yasnitskomu two bottles of fluids (red and yellow), Tursunov asked: "What gives the best of them blow right?"

Training was hard, even Dima once complained of his comrade: "I just did not pull the heel!" And even in the hearts of Marat yelled: "Well, do you ever otskochi normal!", Meaning, of course, the ball.

During coffee breaks, and when Marat Dima drank water, Andrei Olkhovsky and Alexander Volkov stand up to court. "Let's play each other, as in the good old days!" -- Andrew Alexander asked. "Only the right-left change" - he added. The result left Volkov played right arm and pravsha Olkhovsky - left.

When Dima and Marat played at the expense of steel, and Olkhovsky Volkov took place on chairs for linear judges. A team captain Shamil Tarpischev climbed to the judicial tower, which occasionally gave advice. Shamil Anvyarovich under their wards become too fun. Stability - a sign of class! "- so Tarpischev responded that Tursunov repeatedly hit the grid.

During the game, Marat asked the doctor: "Doc! I completely obliterate sore." Tursunov, and is not without cost jokes. After losing points Safina he yelled: "Zamanil me in the trap of its mozolyu!" Meeting at the tie-breke ended in favor of Marat. Someone from the team joked: "Finally, after his burst of Australia, bearing in mind the prolonged series of defeats ex-first racket at the world tournament.

The second composition in the court went Mikhail Yuzhny and 213 - I rackets peace Alexander Kudryavtsev. Sasha, though not a member of team, participating in the preparatory process and contribute to the preparations for the official matches. Not surprisingly, the Southern trains from Kudryavtsevym.

Anne sweetie, I moved your post about radio interview to the videos thread because it wasnt really about DC, so don't get a fright

[tinuviel]

I love the descriptions of the guys practising, joking and playing footie - it sounds as though they are all having a lot of fun - great team spirit which is what you need for Davis Cup. I also love the photos which were posted.

LOooks like Marat may play after all. I hope so!! If he doesn't it will be because Tarpy knows what he is doing (although I will be sad if Marat doesn't play).

Whatever, I wish the team good luck for the weekend.
