It's strange to say you're retiring but that you might play in the Australian Open. That doesn't seem like your typical retirement activity. On the other hand, maybe he can talk Marat into retiring in a similar fashion! I agree! It’s strange to say you’re retiring but that you might play in the Australian Open.

Australia 2010!" LOL! “Fabrice has done everything else — he should try the old, retire-come out of retirement trick that all the kids are doing now. Australia 2010!”

That's so strange he may play Australia, I think ending in Paris in his home country is perfect. Really funny to hear Marat’s comments regarding the Magician.

Australia 2010! Seriously, he was a wonderful player to watch. He really was a throwback to the days when tennis was just fun and the players weren't training like mad and getting MTOs every changeover (do you hear me, Novak Djokovic! :-( ) And I love the Marat quote!
