Hey mate. Physio must be really tough on you so hang in there. I'm sure once you're able to hit the courts you'll find the strength and vigour to play great tennis. Looking forward to seeing some explosive action in your next tournament :)

Marat is so determined to get his knee better and play again - he is working on it everyday from 8am to 12noon. Now for those who know Marat well - that is quite something! Marat does not like getting up early and even his management are amazed at his dedication.

09.09.05 Marat Update
Marat had his consultation with Dr Lohrer on Monday in Frankfurt and his first session of treatment. He then went to Moscow to attend the funeral on Wednesday 07/09 of his friend Leonid Nerushenko who died tragically on Saturday in a motorbike accident. Understandably Marat was very upset by the death of his friend and as he has been away from home so much lately, felt he wanted to stay near to family and friends. It has been established that the same treatment is available in Moscow so Marat is happy that he can stay at home and continue his treatment. The course covers 5 hours a day of Physio, shockwave treatment, gym and massage and will last 5 weeks.
Therefore it is anticipated that all being well, Marat will be fit for the Japan Open in Tokyo on 3rd October.
We will keep you informed of developments. This is a very hard time for Marat dealing with the death of a close friend and his injury and knowing he has so many points to defend. So keep him in your thoughts - he needs all the love and support of his fans to help him through this difficult time.
