These turn-back\forward-time days I feel myself happy I don`t live at an estate somewhere in England for example cause I then would have to rush about the house turning hands of all old family cuckoo clocks.

ROGER in 3  sets!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a knock in Murray`s nose!!!! Thank you, Roger, you`re the gratest champion in the world ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now he did it. This match wasn`t an important one for Roger, but for Robin... it could brake him...maybe... I really don`t know his own thoughts but the situation was dangerous. So I wanted him to win for tennis, for another great year.
Robin`s progress in 2009 was impressive a lot but he always came to the wall named Roger Federer, actually TOO often their meetings were. To me it seemed like he can beat everybody but this one person make him doubt. This win gave us one more bright player. I think he will be in Top 6 (or higher) this year (of course if inguries won`t bother him).

Actually we`ll have some movings on the main positions this year. And there will be other leaders fighting.

Watching "The Phantom of the Opera". I hate russian translation!! The one good thing is that this is a version without translation of the songs, or it would be totally awful!!
The film differs from the musical and has little alike with the book, but I like it because of the music and production.
Music is great!!

"I don't understand nothing." - so can I say now as we in russian also have double denials...))))

I can`t say today, I`ll perhaps do it tomorrow... Just a few words... Oh, I can`t still believe it, even if I knew that he WILL DO it... It was so unreal in the beginning of the match...
In the beginning of the 2nd set I was trying to persuade myself
"Ok, the things are going their way, Roger is far ahead, Delpo has "not the best day", he looses enough not to feel pity after all. He said that being in his first final is already good thing, so he`s going to enjoy it, so it won`t be a big deal to miss if he talked about his small chances himself."  But when I saw him fighting for every point, I understood that he wasn`t honest enough with those words, that he will die on the court but use all his chances... Since that time I couldn`t even think of the loss...
Strange feelins it was - I was pretty sure he`ll be the Champion but couldn`t understand how it could happened. ... Read more

So, Robin lost again. But twasn`t too easy for Roger to win today.
Why did he loose? I really can`t answer this question. I guess, just because it was Roger... Robin did nothing wrong and had a brilliant match. He actually has nothing to reproach himself. He was a hero of that night. Not Roger as he was expected to win, but Soderling who was expected not to gain any set. His come-back was unbelieveable and this guy really deserved every single point he took. Maybe he deserved more... I feel pity for him. He has an unluky star on his way named "Roger Federer"... Who can say where would he stop if not Roger?... Robin improved his game since the last match, his shots were incredible. I hope he`ll earn some points for higher ranking and soon appear in TOP 10.

It was good for Fed that Robin didn`t loose easy and tought Roger some lesson about how it`s dangerous to relax too early. He prepared Roger to the semi ... Read more
