I know what you mean about those tears of joy, Jess! It’s hard to begrudge Marat his retirement when he so obviously wants out of tennis. Although I’m not sure why he’s complaining about the massages, I wouldn’t mind having unlimited massages, especially if Marat was giving them!

Marat is sooo hawt! But it seems like he is ready to go. Hope he eeks out at least a few more wins to go out on a good note.

He’s way beyond ready for retirement. Terrible play from both players. Now, I’m happy he’s retired *sob* — tears of joy. Hope he’s happier with his young life to start again.

I’ll have youtube with tons of old good matches to drool on — err enjoy.

it would be great if fed and marat could play one more time, even if not in the final. they have such great rapport and history on tour. every time they play the match is enjoyable and there are hugs at the net. seeing two great champions together always makes me smile.

speaking of hugs, you know del po will give marat a big hug no matter what happens!

10 min of effortless, high level tennis and plenty of handsome hotness! thank you very much ff! this is welcome anytime!

i loved/hated the safin match. i was right with the tortured soul! i was PRAYing that he would eek it out and he did. loved that he had some extra motivation to live to see another day. good for him! must be weird with all the tourny people and press hovering and waiting, just incase he’s through. who knows, del po may be distracted and rusty. i’ve heard marat was one of his heroes and we all know what happened when del po faced his idol hewitt earlier this year! go BSR!

I was so nervous during that tie break. I was just so relieved he had won! Too bad he has to face Del Po next
But I heard that Roger practiced with him earlier today, and I hope he will practice with him again before his next match. Go Marat!
