The Radwanska sisters pass through at 1:39. It sounds like Agnieszka says something and he says something back..don't know if it is in Polish or not..sounds like he says "dobrze"???

Q: just like another hotel? D: unfortunately, yes.

Q: do you have a desire to be a spectator? D: I'm spectator every time when i play third. I watch matches they are playing on my court.

For me, it's would be cool to see how you mount stories but, for you, it's routine uninteresting work.

And announcer says that Tursunov looks like hockey player at the height of the playoff, with such splendid beard.

[qavqav]

Q: have he been on Eiffel tower? D: yes, once. He have been playing on Chatrier once with Igor Kunitsyn, they defeated Llodra/Clemant. He wouldn't say that to play here is easier than, for example, the last 18th. Most of stadiums are ordinary huge constructions, they don't look like Coliseum.

Every Slam has its own features, Wimbledon looks almost like a big museum. He didn't like surface on 1st court last year and this year too. There's a lot of holes and pits.

"Suzanne Lenglen court was built in honour of famous french tennis player, she wasn't very pretty, in my opinion, but her photos are b/w, old... so maybe there's chance... [that she was pretty]."

[qavqav]

Players don't move in crowded places to avoid giving autographs coz usually they haven't time for it. Sometimes fans stops them 30-40 times. 1st court looks uncomely coz of grey colour but he likes it inside, it's very nice atmosphere here and the city is very beautiful, this tournament leaves positive emotions.

"Look, they are guiding players for the match by the garbage cans and beer barrels"

He likes 2nd court, it's not very big and not very small, when he was playing with Nalbandyan, people from Chatrier was watching the match, was hanging on lamps like garlands. The most of them, of course, was supporting Argentina. He doesn't like playing on big crowded courts, they look like a field; big distances, big sizes, tense atmosphere, ect. Got used to play on such courts like 9th or 11th.

OK, there's short summary of interview and some quotes.

He keeps his pass in the pocket so that kids didn't recognize he is player. Most of them doesn't know who is player, they run for autograph when they see a rocket.

"They look at us - we look at them, it's looks like the zoo."

They (players) don't eat much sweets or cakes, mainly, a paste, chicken or fish.

[qavqav]

Not now. A bit later, OK? Into English, not French, sorry, I can't know all languages :(
