not entirely true... i dont really like marat and im a girl

I know, thats a real torture for all Marat Fans. I`m already living through this since 5 years, too, but at the same time its part of beeing Marat`s Fan. Hell, its so frustrating, but quite interesting especially in the phychology part, and we can also take it with humour, like Marat also does and in that way we can enjoy the happy moments even more in a special way. If Marat would play at same level for most of the time, he wouldn`t be Marat Safin. But i agree, A LIL bit more stability wouldnt hurt

I would have said that same thing... if only grey hair would not have been mentioned...

As my english is too bad...I'll let the french newspaper "Liberation" express my personal feelings.


The saviour of the Australian Open "Hercules with the face of an innocent" - Safin is a star. A champion - a superb player and a clown.

With the journalists Marat is the funniest, the most unpredictable tennismen, flinging a barrage of awful things while turning red like a young girl (or tossing off loads of outrageous remarks while blushing like a young girl.).

Safin is the real treasure. He has the tennis ability and athletic quality of Sampras, the cold-bloodness of Agassi, the arrogance of Kafelnikov, the humour and the crazyness of Ivanisevic, the sense of spectacle and party of Noah Yannick. With a little extra, something so russian: the look of danger, of mystery, that he redeems. Well, Marat is a credible hero."

Marat is so popular because he's VERY sexy and VERY funny. The only reasons why I like him.

I can't take his game seriously, however. He's obviously extremely talented... but if he doesn't care half the time, I sure as hell won't either.



True, he isn't clumsy.

lol, vass seems to think so

Nice quote Bea! I agree with what Andrea has posted.

As has been said before, Marat doesn't try to be cool, he's just him. If you don't believe it, then just look for his quotes about Anna K and all the monet that can be made off court. He doesn't want to do it. He's just a nice guy trying to enjoy life.

 

[onewoman74]

The man is hot as hell(that's a plus). He's also a very talented player. the man has personality annnnnnnnnnnnnnd he's multilingual. In my book that's friggin' hot!!!!

 

[Crazy_Fool]

Because i think he's a very genuine person, and isn't interested in the whole fame thing or an ego. He's got a great personality, makes people laugh, is very respectful about pretty much everyone. And of course he is extremely hot....

 

[Deboogle!.]

I can certainly understand what Marat is so popular, here at MTF and everywhere else For all the reasons everyone stated. But I agree with RPH that it's sort of :cuckoo: when Marat does something and it's by and large considered cute and sexy but when anyone else does it they become the devil's reincarnate.

So true. He is not doing anything for a special reason or for showing off ... its just because in that moment he feels like doing it. its just a natural thing, and like crazy_fool said he isn`t really interested in the fame, or what others think about him of why he did this or that. He always said he doesn`t care what the others think about him, he just wants to enjoy his life and do what he wants.

I think Marat is so popular because he is different from all other players, he is a very interesting character, he does some things that are unique and he has so many different qualities... his personality is one of the extremes, he is so f*cking funny and a bit crazy in a very natural way, always entertaining in matches, has a firy temperament on the court, is so unpredictable, says what he thinks, his easy going attitude off the court, the cool side, yet he is a very nice and sweet guy with a big heart, (very popular with fellow players, fans and press) his charming side, his sensitive side, he is very smart and wise and and and...
and of course he has one hell of a game, and when its on its one of the best or maybe the best, but unfortunaly mostly it isnt. Anyway, i think another reason is, that he has such big mental issues that he once plays amazing and the other day he wouldn`t win against his grandma. He had so many ups and downs in his career and thats interesting for the people to follow him. You never know whats gonna happen. It all depends on the way he feels each day.
Another factor is that he is very good looking and expresses an unbelievable sexyness (without trying), that attracts many women.

Exactly!

Marat is intelligent, multi-lingual, funny, a little crazy, very handsome, extremely talented (although he often seems to waste his talent), totally charming with his fans, polite, and very popular with offiicials, with the Press and with other players. He is totally natural - there is no "side" to him and nothing "two faced" about him - he doesn't show one face to the cameras and another in private - he is a true original and a real class act on and off the court.

 

[Leena]

Marat is the furthest thing from a class act, sorry.

 

[*Ljubica*]

Marat is the furthest thing from a class act, sorry.

Then our opinions are very different - I have met him often and he's always been a total gentleman

Marat is a natural. He says exactly what is on his mind, and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

Too bad I can't rep you for that.

 

[Bibir]

Don't worry Ilhame!...I'll rep Rosie for that!...and for Wilby and Sasha too.

And Sigma too!
