DC Quarterfinal Moscow, April 2007

[davis]

SUNDAY

Sunday started with a bad surprise for me: No Richard, instead Grosjean. And no Kolya, instead Igor! Strange. Even stranger was that everyone but Marat was sitting on the bench. Could that mean that he'd play? No info was to be had until 6:30 p.m., what torture - okay, I'm doing it again. Annie will tell the tale. I have to say one thing, though: I was the only person who was convinced from the beginning that Marat would win (and thank God I was right...)

I took NO photos of the Grosjean-Andreev match, so we start straight with Marat - that is, due to general demand, first here are photos of Annie, Lena and Yours Truly





And now Marat:



Mathieu doesn't look too optimistic:














The first moment I put the camera down, Marat decided to change his shirt! So I'm sorry, I couldn't focus fast enough. Please check the old lady on the right in pics 2 and 3, she was hilarious, LOL















A hug from Mama after the match


Alright, that's it. Tomorrow I gotta go back to normal life. Thank goodness it's only 5 weeks to the Hamburg Masters ;D

Special thanks for my wonderful host and her wonderful husband, I had an amazing time in Moscow (and by far not just because of tennis )

And Marat: Please, please, keep playing like this in Monte Carlo and Barcelona and Rome and Hamburg and.........

Okay, so for some reason, I'm in love with this pic.

Oh, to be a fly in the Russian bench. I badly wanna know what's goin on.

I LOVE it when he spaces out! .....Not on court though.

Sorry for quoting a bazillion pics. I just had to express my pic-love.
