Result:

Marat lost to F. Lopez at the 2nd round

Official Website:
The weather conditions in Miami at the Sony Ericsson tournament were very windy and Marat found it difficult to win his match and lost 5/7 6/7(2) to Feliciano Lopez.
Marat was very disappointed and is now travelling back home to Russia in order to prepare for the Davis Cup tie which is played on April 6 - 8,2007.
風勢太大﹐MARAT在邁阿密大賽感到不適應而比賽失利﹐敗給 LOPEZ。MARAT 對於此結果感到十分失望﹐他將啟程飛回俄國為 四月 6-8日的戴維斯杯作準備。

The defending champions will host France on clay in Moscow's Small Sport Arena "Luzhniki". Russia's Davis Cup tie captain Shamil Tarpischev is taking no chances for this exciting tie and Nikolay Davydenko currently ranked 4 and Mikhail Youzhny currently ranked 17 will be joining Marat Safin and Igor Andreev, the hero of Russia's impressive away win against Chile in February.
衛冕冠軍俄羅斯將於莫斯科運動場 Luzhniki 主場以紅土伺候對陣法國。隊長並不敢輕敵﹐排出強大陣容﹐包含排名第四的 DAVYDENKO﹐ 第17 的YOUZHYNY﹐薩芬 及 二月戴斯杯中令人印象深刻擊敗智利的英雄ANDREEV。

This will be the third time that Russia meets France over the past three years in the quarterfinal match.

"Now, we have all our top players available, which is good news," said Tarpischev, who also named last year's surprise package Dmitry Tursunov and teenager Evgeny Korolev, hitting partner for the 2006 final, to the squad.
這是過去三年來﹐俄羅斯於八強中第三度迎戰法國。

隊長表示"我們有最佳的陣容﹐這真是個好消息" 他同時也點名去年2006決賽奇妙搭擋 TURSUNO 及青少年好手 KOROLEV 加入團隊裡。

NEWS:

Marat is seeded 25. He has a BYE in the 1st round as a seeded player and will play Feliciano Lopez (ESP) in the 2nd round.
They last played at Wimbledon in the 3rd round in 2005 - Lopez won in 3 sets but that was when Marat had the knee injury and then was out of tennis for 8 months. Before that Marat beat Lopez in 3 sets at the Madrid Masters in 2004.

MARAT 被大會列為25種子球員。第一輪輪空﹐第二輪即將迎戰 F. Lopez 。上一次交手是在2005 年溫網﹐當時 MARAT 帶著膝傷上陣﹐三盤敗北﹐旋即因傷休養8個月。在這之前﹐MARAT 在2004年馬德里大師賽以三盤擊敗 LOPEZ。
