Irina at St. Petersburg 2006!

Day One

As you know on Monday starts St.Petersburg Open and Nikolay are going to play there. Today has began the qualification. And after the matches players from the main draw practiced there. Unfortunately, when I came to the courts Nikolay had just finished his practice and was leaving.

Day Two:

This is my second letter dedicated to St.Petersburg Open. Today has been the second day of qualification and the second day of practice for the main draw’s players. This time I haven’t missed Nikolay’s practice.
Nikolay practiced on the centre court with Youzhny, Kunitsyn and a player, whom I didn’t know. It was funny because Youzhny and Kunitsyn occupied player’s chairs and Nikolay and that guy had to sit on linesmen chairs. ) You can see it on one of the photos. They practiced for about an hour. Nikolay was great! Well, as usual :))). Hope, hi’ll do well during this week.
Unfortunately, because of my work, next time when I will be able to go to StPOpen, will be on Wednesday (((. Hope, I’ll be lucky to see Nikolay playing on that day.
