Monte Carlo AMS & News
Unfortunatly not much news this week. From what I've heard I know that Marat flew to Monte Carlo today (after spending a few days in Moscow, probably practising). The tournament starts on Monday, 14 April, so the draw will be announced soon, hopefully!
Let's just hope Marat does well in this tournament and I'll keep you informed!
