Marat i Carlos, czyli dwóch moich ukochanych tenisistów... Twisted Evil

Mam nadzieję, że to exhibition oznacza, że Marat za kortem tęskni tak, jak ja za Maratem na korcie... <Mi Osito, por favor, para mi...!>

Kolejny nius:
Marat zagra także w pokazówce w St. Anton (10-13.12). Grał tam tez w ubiegłym roku, a w towarzystwie będzie miał m.in. Novaka Djokovica.

Tak se myśle, że po nic to by tam nie jechał (wiem wiem - snowboard fajna rzecz xDD) i te turnieje pokazowe to jednak dobre przygotowanie do nowego sezonu.
Safin spraw żebym na dekla nie wyszła, i żeby te moje dywagacje nie poszły w piach, wdzięczna Ci za to będę ziom Mr. Green

ps. post numer 666 Twisted Evil

Serena Out \ Marat Safin In
8 December 2008

PERTH. US Open winner and world number 2 Serena Williams has been forced to withdraw from the Hyundai Hopman Cup. She injured her hamstring in the year ending WTA Championships and has not been able to recover in time to prepare adequately for the Perth tournament. She still intends to play the Australian Open.

However, in a boost to the tournament, mercurial Russian star Marat Safin has shelved retirement plans and recommitted to the Hopman: “I’m pleased to confirm my participation in Hopman Cup. It will be special to play with my sister, and I hope we can challenge for the Trophy”.

Tournament Director Paul McNamee said, “Although we are disappointed about Serena not being able to make it, we are delighted Marat Safin will be here. What an outstanding combination he and his sister are”.

Two time Champion James Blake will now be partnered by Meghann Shaughnessy who last year played the first Hopman match for USA, where she defeated Sania Mirza of India. Meghann, winner of six singles and 15 doubles titles on the WTA Tour has had an injury plagued year but retains a special WTA singles ranking of 50.

USA will remain the top seeds for this year’s Hyundai Hopman Cup. Blake, a two time Hopman Champion has spent the last few years ensconced in the world’s top 10 with a career high ranking of 4. He finished the year as the world number 10. The Russian brother/sister combination of world number 3 Dinara Safina and dual Grand Slam Champion Marat Safin will fill the number 2 position and be seeded to meet the USA in the Final.

USA is the most successful nation in the 20-year history of the Hopman Cup having been victorious five times.

The French team of Gilles Simon and Alize Cornet (world ranking 16) could however be the form team after Simon’s sensational run at the ATP Masters in Shanghai where he reached the semi-finals and catapulted to a year end ranking of 7. They will open the tournament against Chinese Taipei who won the recent Asian Hopman Cup to take up the final spot in the field. France are the third seeds and Australia, with former world number 1 Lleyton Hewitt and Western Australia’s Casey Dellacqua, will retain the fourth position. There will be no change to the schedule.

Wiemy... Serducho już mnie boli, ale cóż... Jeśli można się psychicznie przygotować do Jego końca kariery, to zaczynam się szykować. Kiedyś to przecież musiało nastąpić.
