Good line up for tomorrow, I look forward to Andy :ok: Was this the wrist tournament?! :yikes:

Could play Safin in the next round (provided he gets through the first round!) Who will you be supporting, DinkyJo ;)

if marat beats Stan i might possibly collapse in shock.......but if he does, then i'll be supporting Safin against Andy - no questions...... :unsure:

I have to admit, so would I :P Although Marat has been staging a slight revival lately...sort of...

kind of.......the problem is that he seems to be very much a confidence player and he struggles to play consistently throughout the match because of that. Stan had a good run last week and is unlikely to roll over for Marat (no rude jokes please boys and girls :P ) and if marat is under pressure i really can't see him winning. but we'll see :unsure:
