he's such a gentleman for remembering the linesmen and security people!!! :) You don't hear that in a lot of victory speeches. Marat's such a great guy.
They always MUST thank the sponsors, big banks and corporations. This is of course BS. These corporations have got NOTHING to do with tennis, which they are using, as they use everything else, brainwashing us with the reality of a world dominated by them, in which we CONSTANTLY have to thank them for their crimes.
Without them the tournament couldn't take place?!!? Well why the hell not? Why do we hear this all the time?
It's not like tennis and the ATP don't make shitloads of money, is it?
@suddenlyitsobvious Actually GS are ITF events and yes corporate spoonsorship is needed .Where do you think they get millions to improve facilities and give away prize money.Of course Tv viewership and audience are important but so is corporate sponsorship and thats why USA is so successful in sports.In case of china government provides everything.
'.Where do you think they get millions to improve facilities and give away prize money.'
The ITF states sponsorship, competition and television income combined represent about 80% of its income. The ITF can obviously be conceived of as a rather large and successful business with numerous financial options and I maintain it's completely ridiculous to have tennis players publicly thank sponsors after each victory, even if YOU find this perfectly normal.
What this really corresponds to is an unrelenting, concerted effort of impressing the public -us- with the increasingly absolute dominance of big corporations over every single facet of life and the ridiculous proportions this process is taking easily transcend a 'balance-sheet' picture, as you are suggesting, and rather hint at a more and more blatant fascist organization of society.
I think it's silly to suggest the only alternative is government funding.
Thanks all of you to come here, to support me to support the players. Thank you even though half of ...hm... 80 - 90% ... hm... who were late tonight... ROFL
Safin deserved a lot more. After putting in the hard yards coming back from a serious wrist injury in 2003, he was destined for success, but right after he won this, he got another injury, to his knee and was never the same. It's a real shame, because with Lundgren as his coach, starting in 2004, he was gaining massive momentum. He should have been THE guy to challenge Federer and Nadal in years to come.
he's the best man and the best man what I ever met in my life. and anything what will be happen in your life I hope you'll be same Marat. "I'm alright?" You'll be forever the most charismatic tennis player. I love you.
They thought he was being sarcastic because he said "First of all congratulations Lleyton, you had a great start this year", after beating him in the centenary final in front of a home crowd. Marat was actually being totally sincere in his congrats, which is why, after realising his mistake, he immediately apologised.
