Rotterdam Tournament 2002

Our stories of THE DAY!
I met Marat Safin! One of the most coolest and hottest guy on this planet. lol! I went together with my friend Susie to see him playing in Ahoy, Rotterdam, Holland .
On Sunday I called my friend Susanne to wish her luck, because she was going to see Safin that Monday. Susanne is a huge Marat fan, and I was so happy for her that she was going to see him in real.
When I reached her on the phone she told me that unfortunately her friend called her up and told her that she wasn't going with her to the game. And so she also couldn't go.
She was so sad, that I said that I wanted to go with her to see Marat.
I'm not a huge tennis fanatic, the last time that I played tennis or even saw it was when I was 6, so you can imagine that I don't have a huge tennis spirit, or something like that.
The only thing was that I couldn't go on Monday so I said that I could go with her on Wednesday.
Luckily Marat won the game on Monday and so he played on Wednesday. Susanne and I arrived at 3:15 pm in the Ahoy, and we had to wait for like 15 minutes to get tickets, so when we finally sat down we already missed the first set.
We waited until the game was over, unfortunately Marat lost the game and of course we were a bit sad about that, but we realised that he couldn't win every time and so we headed to the player entrance to meet Marat. Over there we met a girl (Fatima) who was also waiting for Marat!
We waited and waited and waited, and every time that someone opened the door we almost had a heart attack. Even I, although I wasn?'t a fan of Marat. After 15 minutes suddenly Ferrero came outside, and Susanne and the girl nearly died when they saw him. I really didn't knew who he was (okay, I'm blonde-> stupid, I know), but I saw on the faces of Susanne and Fatima that it was a famous tennis player.
So that's why I asked him for his signature in English, he gave us his signature and Fatima went with him on a photo (Susanne and I are right now regretting that we didn't went with Ferrero on a photo).
Ferrero was in a bad mood, maybe because he also lost his match. And he kept talking to us in Spanish, although I can speak a little Spanish, I couldn't understand him. Ferrero left pretty quick.
And Marat still had to come. We looked every time when somebody opened the door, and suddenly we saw him!!!!!
He was sitting on a couch, and somehow he noticed us. He kept on looking.
And we screamed his name. After 5 minutes he came outside. Susanne saw him coming so she warned us!!
When Marat was outside I gave him our present (a black/white necklace) and I asked him if he could sign something for me and he did.
Susanne gave him her "SUPER SAFIN" poster and asked him if he could sign that for her, he was so surprised about the poster, he laughed when he saw it, and showed it to his friends. When he wanted to sign it he dropped the pen, and he said: I'm nervous. Wow, he was nervous???
I guess we were all pretty nervous. Lol.
He signed it and after that Susanne went with him on a photo. After that Fatima went with him on the photo and after that I did.
He was so nice and so hot! He really took the time for us. He wasn't in a bad mood, although he lost the game.
When we were finished he gave the pen back to me and he left.
I would never forget that day and how nice he was, he was very gently, and so big (lol, well maybe I'm just too little), I just was stunned when I saw him!!! .
I truly can say that he has yet another fan, and that is me!!!
Love Always, Jacoline
Here is my story about that great day.
On Wednesday February 20 me (Susie) and Yakko were going to the Rotterdam tennis tournament to see my favourite player, Marat Safin, play. We arrived at about 3;15 in the afternoon.
We had to wait in line for our tickets. As we sat down in the tennis hall we realised we had already missed the first set (dammit!)
But we did get to see the other two sets.
Unfortunately Marat had lost the match (dammit again!).
When the match was over Jacoline and I rushed outside to wait for Marat at the playersentrance/exit.
We met a girl there who was also waiting for Marat. We talked a bit about Marat, his match and just tennis in general. We waited by the door so Marat couldnt escape without being jumped on by us
LOL.
Everytime the door opened we almost died. Cats may have nine lives, we have a thousand and I must say that I have lost a lot of lives that day
Ok,never mind me
Suddenly the door opened and Jc Fererro came out. He is a great tennisplayer and cute!
I completely froze and was very glad Jacoline asked him for an autograph for me (thanx Jac!)
After a while Jacoline saw Marat in the room behind the door,sitting on a couch. I called him when the door opened and he looked at me. Then Jacoline and I called him again and after five minutes he came outside. I was sooooo + nervous!!
He signed my Super Safin sign and he liked my sign so much he showed it to all his friends!!
I was so happy he liked it
I also took a picture with him. He put his arm around me (can we say oh my god!lol).
Right before that he had dropped the pen and he said he was nervous. How cute
It was such a great day!! I will never ever forget Marat's charm!
He was soo nice, kind andbeautiful!
I am an even bigger fan now then I was before (if that is possible).
Hope to see Marat again next year!!
Love Susanne
Tsaar Marat!!!
