Marat defeats top seed player = sign of Armageddon?
October 21st, 2009 • Marat Safin, Nikolay Davydenko
The shock of the day: Marat Safin came back from losing a match and won it. Different from all his über chokes this year, he actually closed it up breaking the opponent’s serve. Like, he actually won the match. Won, as in w-i-n-n-i-n-g. 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, yup, a victory. And it wasn’t any opponent. No, Sir. It was his countryman, top seed Nikolay Davydenko, that had just won a Masters 1000 the previous week. Colour me surprised!
And he still looks ridiculously good. *happy sigh*
(p.s. let’s ignore the fact Kolya played like shit, shall we?)

Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
Aw, Kolya is so nice. :-P
