It is hard to support him, if there are no "contacts " and "nice words " to his fans.....just the "results" of him.....and maybe I assigned his behaviour in a wrong way. But isn´t that so weird to think about this way ( like I am thinking).....and not to say all the time...."Marat I love you, whatever you say, whatever you do.......I support you ?"
I am just asking myself, what `s going on in his mind. Maybe I expect an answer......but what I get is.......: ANGER WITH YOU and you misunderstood what I want to say...........!
I am tired and stressed like Marat.........and it is hard to see him trying and trying.......!He can play tennis!!! I know that!!!
I never expected a tournament win of him, but for me he lost his concentration in the 3rd set! Did you saw the "coments" of the reporters?
I mean....am I wrong?[/quote]

Jelka
we are all tired and stressed these days in this economic climate - it is not easy for lots of people all over the world too.
Yes we would like Marat to be our special lift up but he is also going through hard times - trying hard and things not going right. He wouldn't keep playing if he didn't care. One thing - although you are not an actual "friend" with Marat and can talk to him - being a fan is like being a friend where you love and support unconditionally as a true friend does. You might not always agree but your friendship continues and you will still be there for that friend. Think that is the best way to put it. And yes we get angry with our friends but we get back together again don't we?

And for everyones information but particularly for you Jelka where you said he doesn't train

As at today 29 April

Marat has gone to Valencia to practice

He will keep trying and go on to Madrid next.

I've been reading all the feelings for Marat's last match for hours,
I have to write something down here
Last night I tried to keep my eyes close but I couldn't
All the feelings came into my head, sad, confuse but surprise I was not frustrated about what he did
I kept thinking ,how he is right now , is he gonna be OK?
I'm the one who doesn't support eveything that Marat does,
I'm the one who used to frustrated what he did in a lots tournaments
I'm the one who feel lost after he lost
And I hurt everytime I see him down on the court
You know what makes me feel better, when I see him come back to play , when I see him smile while practicing
I'm definitely not a stupid crazy fan
I understand what Jalka 's feelings , I don't blame her to show her opinion ,her emotions
But can you imagine how much pain that Marat has right now, after last 3 matches..
Noone wants to lose like that 3 consecutive time, it's huanting him for sure
I know that he's not gonna read this forum or anything else we post
But just give him some little respect as an athlete , or as our hero..
I miss that thing....

Well, well. First of all I think it's excellent that he's packed his schedule as he has. He's come close several time...but lost several times. I too feel sometimes that I just want to go over and REALLY support him. But it's great that he's going on...My year has not been that hot, and watching Marat Just
Carry On, has been great in itself. Surely somewhere he'll break through.

It appears that Marat will play an exhibition before Wimbledon at the Fortis Tennis Classic, at Hurlingham. That's the same exho he played last year.

http://www.fortistennisclassic.com/Home.aspx

He is in the confirmed list of ATP players: http://www.fortistennisclassic.com/Play ... nfirmedATP

Maybe Webby can confirm if this is true.
thanks

I was just thinking about Wimbi & getting worried that Marat has not played a single match on grass..
It's important to play some tennis on any new surface before GS!
Pretty much every player has except Marat, Davydenko, Roger & Nadal...

thanks for the news, Alex !

yeah, I never knew that at Wimbledon seeds are distributed not by ranking, but considering past grass tournaments in 12 months!
Marat certainly deserves #15 seed for getting to semis here last year ! !

Dinafa - I was just coming here to post this result :)
Even though it was exhibition match, I'm sure it was an important win for Marat !!

Everybody is being faster than me today, lol.
Very good result. Beating the finalist of Queens is always nice, despite it being an exho.
