Hahaaa, My vote will win I hope!
Just now Saive beat Achanta, right in great style..
He was leading 3:1 in games, hardly winning each from those 3 he got on board..
Then he completely turned off, or better.. looking at his game - turning into an experimental rythm..
Tryed some things.. lost 11:1 .. to win next game and the ticked into finals..
Anyways, I cant see him beat Samsonov, simply for that a miracle has to happen ;)

Heheeee, I just saw Vladi and Saive sitting close to each other, talking about something..
Lol .. they have to be friends :)
They even played in Royal Villette Charleroi I think.. They won Liebherr European Champions League together..
That was I think in 2000 or 2001 .. Samsonov, Primorac and Saive I think..

I hope the same!
Anyways if I would be there with some my friend, I would deal with him to play first 2 sets just exhibitions..
So that after first 2 sets it would be 1:1 .. and then we would start to play seriously..
And also when it will be obvious, that one will win, we would start exhibitions from that point again ;)
What do you think, what will they do? :)
