Davydenko def. Safin 7-6; 7-5

:cool:

Safin is the greatest player in the game today. He could win every match if he wanted to.

marat totally blow out his chances he will never be the same again, poor :hug:

lol Safin is the best at losing

Predictable :zzz:

:crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: Why Marat?? Why??:crying2:

A slumping russian beating a totally overrated russian...

Marat :smash: :o

Safin is the greatest player in the game today. He could win every match if he wanted to.

Damn straight.

Marat wins even when he loses. :rocker:

Depressing. He really IS a huge choker. He had loads of chances, a set point. Blew it all away...

Damn straight.

Marat wins even when he loses. :rocker:

Even if he doesn't play ;) :devil:

No more Rafa vs Safin... ... ... ... :sad: sigh!

The continous chitter chatter by both players to themselves was what kept this match from being as entertaining as watching paint dry.

Safin is the greatest player in the game today. He could win every match if he wanted to.

he really doesnt want to win since 2005 then :haha:

his fh and serve are mess:mad:

98 ues in 2 sets, enough said

This has a familiar ring to it, unfortunately.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Marat :mad:

Maybe he needs a sabbatical like Nalby. He should go and watch rallies or do something funny.

That'll change his future.

he wasted a set point in the second set.
btw did anyone see that down the line winner in 2nd set?

Such a wasted talent

Safin needs a good coach, quickly. Andre...Darren...?? are you available? pleasssssssseeeeeeeee?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? ?????

he wasted a set point in the second set.
btw dis anyone see that down the line winner in 2nd set?

Such a wasted talent

Yes that was one hell of a shot, shame he can only do that once a year.

Trainwreck of a match !

Let's hope Davy D. can draw some much needed confidence out of this match.

Safin needs to decide if he really wants to play tennis. Perhaps he is like Cjlisters, and has lost interest in the game.

:o Marat was serving for the set 5*- 4 but of course he lost it :ras: :rolleyes:

:wavey: see ya at Davis Cup :wavey: :p

There are actually no words to express how disappointed Iam... I'm just so fed up of witnessing such a talent being wasted that way... Marat has a gift from god and plays extremely well... and I really don't understant why he keeps losing the way he does :( Actually, I can only imagine how HE must feel about that... and my fear right now is that he might wanna quit the circuit earlier because of all those disappointments... Hope he won't do anything stupid...

It wasn't a good match at all
Davydenko didn't do much to get the win today! Just commit less UES than Safin
Safin :mad:

This was, quite possibly, the most horrible and boring match I've ever seen. :o

But glad Nikolay won it :yeah:

safin doesn't strike me as a choker. just an underachiever. doesnt seem like he applies himself too much

Davai Kolya!!!

Too bad I've got a feeling he is going to lose to Starace anyways.

Yeah what about that sick hook shot cross court and then a dropper. Man that was just nasty combo.

Incredibly dull match. I was glad it ended in two sets.

Marat needs to quit tennis. He's a history.
But he'll stay :(

:sad:

lol damnit... maybe he's going to come back in the 30's :)

One can only hope.
