plath and bonofans pilgrimage into tennis (and how we converted our friends along the way)

One by One ...

Right .... its one match at a time and we have reached the round of 16 stage. I believe anybody who reads this blog, knows that aside from Federer (me) and Nadal (plath) , we have ONE favourite, who, at some level, is perhaps a bigger favourite than both the top 2 men is MARAT SAFIN from Russia.

The giant is making a bit of comeback, knowing him, we just dont know yet how long this resurgence will last but comeback it is nonetheless. 4th round is here, he has played some GOOD tennis, his laser guided backhand is coming back, his booming forehands are painting the lines and his precise serves are kissing the T. But above all, his MIND is working the right way, yet. Up next is Tommy Haas, who defeated the american ginepri in a tough 5 setter and he MUST be tired, atleast to an extent, when he faces Safin. Can we see the loveable russian in Quarters ?? We shall find out today. God be with you, Safin.
