Press Conference
06feb07
Former world number 1, Marat Safin complained about the bad conditions of the court, which is too slow, weak and with some gaps that don't let the ball bounce perfectly. In spite of it, the Russian affirmed that the ground area is new and that they're still in time to adapt their games to the court.

Then the journalist asked if the fact that Youhzny and Davydenko aren't playing is important:
記者問到尤茲尼及達維登科的缺席是否影響很大
"Well it's because they're playing tournaments in Europe and Youhzny is injured for a long time, and he needs a lot of points this year, and we decided not let him come here, that he should do his things. And Davydenko didn't wanted to play because he had played a lot of tournaments, and they are all in Europe."
"關於這個因為他們都在歐洲比賽﹐尤茲尼受傷好一陣子了﹐今年又有很多積分要保﹐所以我們決定讓他放心好好去比賽﹔而達維登科因為賽程很緊湊所以表示他不打DC了﹐目前他們兩人都在歐洲"
