I loved Marat.
I saw him live at the 1998 Roland-Garros qualies and I believe many people in the stands that day were sure they had seen The Next Big Thing. Of course Marat went on to beat Gustavo Kuerten and Andre Agassi. He then managed to win his third round match against a more obscure player: something that everybody thought was very promising, too. I remember being slightly worried that all that success so soon might backfire...

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to miss Marat much: I gave up on him long ago. Too many disappointments.

-- as an aside, I thought Dinara should have been present today.

Why? Was Marat ever there for Dinara?
