Andreev was the better player, but Marat would have a good chance to win if he was able to convert the bp.

Benneteau was the better player yesterday and Ferrero won the match...

 

[Horatio Caine]

Igor has been in solid form for some weeks now. Not unexpected.

Safin had a pretty nasty draw in all honesty.

You didn't get me.
Andreev IS the better player of the two. Not today, not in this match.
Overall, Andreev > Safin.
Igor was the heavy favorite and confirmed it.

MUGat loses again. To a decent player. Always the case.

:retard: :retard:

In that case I am looking forward to see Andreev win AO and US open...and also become No.1

Marat was a much better player, as recently as 2005.
Overall, Mara has a much better career.

Andreev is the better player.

The rankings say otherwise but I agree with you, Andreev is just more mobile, more consistent strokes.

2008 will be the telling year for the "comeback"

Marat hasn't made one of his trademark comebacks since the 2005 injury, it's a shame but that is what an injury can do to such a fantastic and dangerous player such as Safin.

Hold on, you are saying Andreev is a better player than Safin ever was?

 

[Dimonator133]

Igor is definitely the better player at the moment - for some reason I actually considered taking Safin in this match. Considered it for about 10 seconds, then thought better of it.

Safin and Nalbandian both still half the talent, but their brains are like jello right now, for different reasons. Banner just has no confidence, Safin just doesn't care and would probably rather be elsehwere - either partying, or back on the mountain climb (or both!).

 

[leng jai]

If Safin doesn't get past the 4th round of next year's AO hes done and dusted.

 

[Jimnik]

Well having not played for 6 weeks he can be lot off the hook for this one.

 

[goldenlox]

Marat's forehand is way off what it used to be. And his motivation isn't what it used to be.

Andreev > post-2005 Safin (Safin with bad knee)

For the rest of their careers Andreev will be the better player. That's what I'm trying to say.

yeah...two comebacks too many

2nd round = Marat's killa
