Marat Safin

[Aquamarinejewel]

The big Russian Safin faces Andy Roddick this evening…how do you all think he will go? I quite like Safin and his style of play he is entertaining to watch. Would be good to see him win – as we know Marat on his day can beat anyone.

Thoughts?

Marat is my fave Male tennis player - always entertaining, great sence of humor and a huge game that can challange Fed if on song

I think lack of match fitness could be his downfall tonight but hes got every chance to win

GO MARAT!

Safin has a better form so Safin in straight sets.

Umm no Safin is no where near in better form..you just hate USA for some reason

Quite uninformed. Pretty stupid actually. However I hope he gets up.

arrgh - cant we get away from that crap

I expect A-Rod will do it relatively easily, however I hope it goes the distance.

You never know with Marat though, when he turns it on, he can be unbeatable

Love people like Marat...[favorite male tennis player]

Have the most talent and can beat anyone on their day, but just never seem to do it consistently, like a certain Jan Ulrich, but's going off on another tangent

It's what makes them so good to watch

Their entertaing, frustrating, awesome to watch and etc, but when they win it's worth it

 

[roostersgal4eva]

his unpredicibleness(sp?) and his humor is what makes him so great to watch and great to follow

to be honest we wouldnt want Marat any other way

Saf in another five setter.
Safin isn't out of form, he played a lot of 5 setters in 2005, and he ended up winning the tournament.
But I like both players, don't really care who wins, will be cheering for Safin though.
I just hope for an absolute cracker of a match, as I am going to it.

Lol. Yeh lucky.
First year I been to tennis in ages, been blessed with great tennis this week. Got to see both of Safins matches, Hewies come back, and the Monfrils match.
Hope tonight is as entertaining as those matches.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Would love to be there

As people have said, Safin can beat anyone in the world, but he wont do it tonight. Roddick in four sets, with Safin taking the second.

Safin is my personal fav. player, so I will be hoping he can pull off a victory, but it is unlikely...

 

[Aquamarinejewel]

Marat is doing ok so far....although he has hurt one of his fingers, so taking an injury time out atm. Finger is strapped and he is back out on the court. One set all and two games all, so he is holding up well.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Safin saves break point - crucial game now

abc.net.au/tennis has it live online

EDIT - Roddick broke and will serve for the set

 

[Souup]

Great character for the game aswell as a great player

 

[ManWithNoName]

Go Marat! Fight the power!

 

[roostersgal4eva]

I hope he doesnt get into trouble

30-30...COME ON MARAT!!

 

[Roddy]

Ripper game so far. Was flipping between this and the cricket, but found myself dwelling for longer on the tennis....

 

[roostersgal4eva]

crucial game

Yes, it's a great game...I switched between the channels a couple of times, quickly gave up on the cricket. I just so like Safin's antics on the court, makes me laugh.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Marat holds - this could be the turning point

Having another animated discussion - playing better fired up atmo

 

[Roddy]

Wow, Marat's going OFF at the umpy!!!!!
