Roman Safiullin - Wonder-kid? Future top 20?

3250 Views 27 Replies 18 Participants Last post by  emotion
Who is this kid? He's absolutely obliterated the futures tour. Prior to this season the boy had won 4 matches as a world ranked professional.

Now he's obliterating challenger players' like Mirza Basic and going on streaks of 20+ victories whilst winning back to back futures events.


Just check this run out, which started from mid-season.

Crazy runs.

Bit late to the game...already a thread in GM for this kid, believe it or not: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=563153

Like I said there, cautiously optimistic, as I always am with young players. Would love to see him succeed, but since I've never had the chance to see him play, no opinion on his game at the moment.
Re: Roman Safiulli - Wonder-kid? Future top 20?

Yes, he's caught my eye at the beginning on 2014. Great stuff for a guy his age. We gonna see how he handles the Challengers.
Re: Roman Safiulli - Wonder-kid? Future top 20?

Ah, cheers.
Re: Roman Safiulli - Wonder-kid? Future top 20?

a bit like Bourgue at the start of season
he won 6 Futures in a row

He kinda peaked at that time. He's not improved ever since.

In before "bageled by a mug".
Re: Roman Safiulli - Wonder-kid? Future top 20?

These results certainly have been impressive for a 17-year-old, but at the same time he hasn't beaten a lot of strong players. Beating Basic and Molchanov is not enough to conclude that he has Top 20 potential or is a wonder kid.

Valid point. :yeah:

But the consistency he shows is impressive for a 17-year-old. I cant remember the last time when such a young player did this kind of streak. Lets see what he can do on challengers next year :)

russian guys are always exposed to the same kinds of dangers

this kid rublev seemed to have bigger potential and already (how old is he? 16?) is tweeting pics of himself with older british trailer trashes and alcohol.

they can also become slaves for betting mafia, like kolya
Wins Junior Aus in fine fashion. :yeah: Sick!!!!!!!!

I think he still has his head screwed on, we will see how he goes this year, Kafelnikov is big on him. He ended the year strong with a Futures title and will be playing in a Dallas Challenger today.

I'm hoping Safiullin, Rublev and Khachanov can make a real push this year as I think they all have potential.

Safiullin plays Jordan Thompson at the Burnie Challenger on Monday.

In my opinion
1) Safiullin
2) Khachanov
3) Rublev

Not a wonder kid anymore, but a proud #2 of Team Russia at the 2022 ATP Cup.

What happened?

Also interesting to note how many of those players in those futures never made it even to be regular challenger players. I wonder how many players from each futures event on average make it into challengers/atp tours
