Marat Safin Forum

Ak Natasha! It's chaotic out there man. Federer absolutely sat on Soderling 1st set. And then second set he rallied but inexperience at tie-break showed, and now third set, Soderling playing like he should have begun, and Roger ups his game! How i would have loved to see Marat taking on Federer because, given more experience, Soderling might just have come through. Kudos on Soderling for not folding like Del Potro did in austrailia! Paris has been ridiculous this year eh? Whats gonna happen in London?! I can't wait.

That was a great match by Roger ! Big congrats to him !
Yes, he was challenged a bit in a 2nd set, and serving for the match, but mostly dominated on his serve.

Did you watch when Roger took his serve at 5:3 - one game away from winning the match?
He got so emotional, had tears in his eyes, oh my god, I thought he would lose it there..

Kenny, what do you think about that freak who ran out on court during play, and tried to put a hat on Roger's head (hat with Spanish flag ? but his socks were with Switzerland flag design..
where was security ? though after a security guy handles that wierdo pretty easily..
That was terrible! Poor Roger went white in a face, and I was like - please, don't let it ruin the match!

Yes, Soderling showed he could be a top 10 player, good run for him too.
We'll see how he plays on grass..

ay dahlink s all! Crazy paris! Told wimbledon watched that lapse in security with aclarity and shock. Not in london mate. Told wimbledon has a proper spectacle lined up for us all. As a tennis freak it's like christmas approaches. Although i'm told the new tennis tech is coming us open, london is testing The Olympics. Nuts. Natasha. Always good seeing you here. Large kiss. The rest of you, on. Marat. Now.

Tommy Hass Just beat the twenty year old Croatian
Hewiit bundled off Del Potro!!

These are all Marats peers and contemporaries !!
same age group more or less. nalbandian, ferrero...

In this group are Grand Slammers altho Tommy
has yet to achieve that!!


Well the younger hungry group.Murray, Cilic, Del
Potro et al will all stand up and take notice!!!

Dont write off all of the 'other' generation!!
they are there to teach you some tennis!! And beat you at it too!!

yes, ismail - this is Marat's generation
J.C. Ferrero beat Gonzalez today as well !

Hewitt, Haas, Ferrero..one is missing - Marat !

by the way, on women's side, Jankovic got beaten by young M. Oudin, and Sveta Kuznetsova - by young Lisicki..

Marats still the best of the lot ....they dont
have his style ... style and substance!!

I really like to make a visit one day to the Tenisval
grounds in Valencia and have a look. kind of a pilgrimage for me...

I wonder if any one knows where i can get full
length DVDs of Marats tennis matches! esp
the one against Fedex 05 Aoz and the Grand Slams

I hope one day i can get one of his used rackets
as a sovenier!! that would be really nice!!

Well, it's the Final that I wanted to see - Roger vs Roddick !!

Yes, I cheered for Roddick! (sorry to Murray's fans - I never liked him)

I watched the Match and Murray, after the first
set and well into the second started to work
up the crowds in his favour!!

He began to loose focus and concentration
and half his mind was not in his game
to some extent!!

I have seen some players do the same
thing - working up the crowds and
ended up loosing the match

Does not pay for the British press
to build up expectattions and put
some pressure on Murray!!

Hey, very happy news today. Federer's wife has given birth to twin girls - Charlene Riva and Myla Rose!
Congratulations to the happy parents!

Yep, just read that!

So happy for Roger! Congrats! He is such a great guy, and will be a great daddy

I read about that too. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Federer. Twins, wow! Raising twins is not an easy task. I wish them and their children all the best.

Roger and Mirka had twins....oh my I didn't even know she was pregnant, I'm so shocked! How can I say I'm a fan of Roger when I don't even know that he's having children- what's wrong with me lol? Anyways, congratulations to them both they'll make wonderful parents. Also congratulations to Roger on winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon-I'm so happy for him! He's number one now and needs to stay there!

The wheels of fate change...

Fedex and Nadal are out at Montreal

Nadal is just giving too much top spin and hardly
knows how to hit flat. As a result to my mind his
top spining has damaged his knees as he always
lifts up his legs slightly more to hammer with body twists his top spins and additional pressure on his knees!! Maybe maybe for i am no expert!!! Hes a great fighter no doubt and chases every thing down. And the schedules is wearing him out...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the noise is on that murray is now number 2 and
without a slam to his name!! And - so not entitled for any high ranking

Come on -its the system, based on points earned for any
number of tournaments. If they wanted they could have factored
in that not winning a Slam would deny you a world number one or world number 2 ranking!!
But they have not designed the system that way
.........
Go back to school some of you guys and think!!!

I am not a fan of Murray and i dont care about how far he goes in his career- i saw the noise in some
other websites and its ridiculous!! It can be applied to any player for that matter



Any way he plays like Marat - just waiting
for him to say something about it.

Juan Martin, what a superb result!
