Something is Missing: A Season Without Marat Safin

Jan 12th, 2010 by admin.
From Bleacher Report – Tennis

With the Australian Open less than a week away, the 2010 season will start without one the most fascinating players of the last decade. Marat Safin, the enigmatic Russian, retired after this past 2009 season.

He walked away with two Grand Slam championships, a host of other wins, and perhaps the most gifted natural skill set tennis has ever seen. A powerful forehand, dangerous serve, and divine two-handed backhand were all at his disposal.

Before knee injuries set in Safin moved well for a man of his height and could paint the lines like the all-time greats. His backhand was indeed a work of art: flowing, consistent, and heavy. His serve was not rocket-powered but well placed and capable of racking up an ace with ease. Safin’s forehand was an underrated weapon, using it both to set up his backhand or reel off a winner. He was also adept at net when necessary.

In recent Australian Open history, it is difficult to overlook the epic five set semifinal marathon between Safin and Roger Federer in 2005. Both players put on a clinic in hard court tennis and there was no shortage of mesmerizing shots. T

iebreaks, gutty breaks and holds of serve, and a 9-7 fifth set show how competitive this match was. Two of the best players in the game facing off, Safin overpowering Federer.

The Safin of that match and resulting final was the player that everyone expected to see each week. No point seemed out of reach. Every shot he fired back was a potential winner. His confidence and focus could not be rattled. The inconsistent, volatile, and sometimes indifferent Marat that showed up more often was cast aside. Men’s tennis was better when he played to his potential.

His on-court difficulties have been well-documented and discussed to death. Countless rackets were broken or smashed, every umpire was belittled and questioned, and the press were left scratching their heads after his often playful answers. Safin became identifiable to most fans, always respected and cheered no matter the venue. If nothing else people just wanted to see him succeed and exorcise his demons.

Beneath all of explosiveness and chaos was a man with some perspective. During the last couple years, especially his final season when he begrudgingly announced his plans to retire months in advance, Safin was repeatedly asked to look back at his career. He did not always mention the championships or the drama on the court.

Safin instead recounted the hard work he put in from a young age to get to the top. In fact, Safin stated that he had no regrets in an interview after his loss in the 2009 US Open.

The whole transcript offers a rather unfiltered look into his thoughts about his time on tour. Overall, Safin was grateful for the opportunity that he was presented and took hold of. Acknowledging his temper made him seem more real, not a mystified star like Federer or Pete Sampras.

He was honest, perhaps to a fault, and what you saw from him was not fabricated or rehearsed. One minute he left fans in awe. The next minute they were shocked. One of the many reasons why there was no other player like him.

Safin was aware that there was more to the world than tennis. Losing a match was not the end of the world and while he did come off as a defeatist on the court, his disposition after a match was remarkably assured. The lost points that drove him into a frenzy an hour or so earlier rolled off his shoulders while he recognized the big picture.

The winnings, travel, and notoriety were the result of hard work; a few losses were not going to spoil all that he achieved. Safin realized his blessings and on many occasions mentioned that tennis saved him from other less than ideal pursuits.

Tennis, like all professional athletics, is results-based. Wins, prize money, and statistics drive already competitive athletes to extreme proportions. Perspective is often lost as ego creeps in and athletes ascend to iconic status. Safin provided a relief from all of this.

At times he could be mistaken for an everyman player, flubbing forehands and bouncing his racket off the court in frustration. Candid during interviews and refreshingly unique on it, Safin will be remembered for his personality as much as his game.

In the end, Safin left an indelible mark on the game of tennis, both good and bad. The ATP has lost an inimitable personality and talented player. Current stars like Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Gael Monfils have charisma and ability but cannot replicate the magic Safin brought to the court.

Lena

Kurde zbliża sie Australian Open, twardzielem byłam ale żal zaczyna mnie dosięgać ...

s.

uhmm..podobno Książe Moskwy córke nieślubną ma;]
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] w sumie patrząc na tą małą podobieństwo jakies tam jest..ja bym sie wcale nie zdziwiła jakby to była prawda aczkolwiek to dziwne bo jak byl w domu dziecka w petersubrgu to mówil,ze bylo by fajnie meic dziecko kiedys tam i zeby mowiło do niego tato..dziwne..

Kati

W szoku jestem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked

Niby możnaby się spodziewać po jego trybie życia... ale... nooo... Rolling Eyes

Lena

Ku*wa, że tak powiem. Jak napisze, że to do niego niepodobne to skłamie i jak dopisze, że często żartując na temat potencjalnych małych Safinów o których być może nie wiem w istocie sobie żartowałam to teraz zdębiałam. Kurde Safin jako ojciec kojarzył mi sie zawsze jako coś absolutnie niezwykłego, ale jak do tego podejśc i czy wogóle jest to prawda - ja pikole !

Karolka

na pewno jest to potwierdzone??
sorry, ale jakoś nie chce mi się w to wierzyć żeby spotykał się ze swoim dzieckiem raz na pół roku no sorry... dajcie spokój... zwłaszcza pamiętając jego słowa z pobytu w domu dziecka, że chciałby mieć małego Safinka, który mówiłby do niego "tato", z którym by się bawił...
ja wiem, że po nim można się wszystkiego spodziewać, ale to akurat mi nie pasi
poza tym, czy nie sądzicie, że taka bomba wyszłaby wcześniej?? jeszcze w czasach (boże jak to brzmi) jego czynnej kariery tenisowej?? Wtedy to byłby skandal!!!
A teraz....
nie, nie, dla mnie to bujda na resorach....
no chyba, że sam Marat to potwierdzi...nie razie nie ma się czym emocjonować, więc WRZUĆCIE NA LUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karolka

kiedyś już słyszałam takie ploteczki coby Maracik miał dziecko z Daszą....
a teraz on jest sam (chyba), a ona spodziewa się dziecka Romka Abramowicza Wink

s.

nie wiem czy wierzyc czy nie troche to podejrzane.z resztą jak sam nic nie powie to wiedziec nie bedziemy.mam nadzieje ze to jednak nieprawda.

Kati

Słuchajcie, w moim zawodzie się mówi, że nikt nie jest winny, póki mu się winy nie udowodni. Na razie to tylko plota, pogłoska, nic pewnego i nic oficjalnie nie wiemy, więc staram się przynajmniej zachować spokój. Zresztą nie ma co się denerwować, osobiście życzyłam mu zawsze jak najwięcej małych Safiniątek, więc ja jestem bardziej podekscytowana niż zdenerwowana.
Tak sobie tylko myślę, że przy jego trybie życia i rozrzucaniu plemników, to, tak jak mówiła Lenka, posiadanie nieślubnych dzieci przez tego Niedźwiedzia jest co najmniej prawdopodobne.
Hm, pożyjemy zobaczymy.

Karolka

Kto tu twierdzi, że on jest winny... z tego co czytam, sama na początku tak twierdziłaś Wink

moze zanim coś napiszemy nalezałoby by się najpierw zastanowić... sorry jeśli kogoś obrażam, ale wkurza mnie, ogólnie rzecz biorąc, wpiep**anie się w autorytet.
Np. ktoś podszedł do pewnej sprawy na chłodno, wiec nie będę gorsza i powiem to samo mimo ze wczesniej miałam inne zdanie...

Magazine HELLO!, 26.01.2010

Marat Safin: LIFE AFTER SPORTS.

The famous tennis player at the end of last year, ends his career. On the eve of its 30 th anniversary, he invited HELLO! To his home and told of how he lived for 60 dollars a month, how to conquer the Himalayas, and why it is still not married.

All last year and it was only talk about the end of his career. November 11 he was handed the keys to Paris 'Bercy' hall, where Safin has won three Masters Series tournament and the national team of Russia got the first in the history of our country's Davis Cup. But even after 14 thousand spectators stood Marat spent the big sport, his name continues to adorn the front page. In late December, Russia's president Dmitry Medvedev awarded him the Medal of Honor "for his merits in the development of physical culture and sports," but at the beginning of the year in the reader survey, an authoritative resource TennisReporters.net he was again named world's sexiest tennis player in the world.
Needless to say, without Russia's Marat Safin tennis would have been bland, as the Indian meal without spices. And here is more important than his athletic achievements as an explosive character, animal magnetism, bright appearance, thanks to which each of his game turned into a theatrical spectacle. But Safin as he could apologize to kiss a female judge, which landed the ball and continue playing as if nothing had happened. He broke the racket, sent to curse the referee, refused to shake hands with partners and went from the middle of the match. At the same time, hardly anyone could resist his disarming smile and did not forgive him for everything.
Marat met with us three weeks after the completion of a tennis career in his Moscow apartment. Safin gained her a few years ago but only now, after the completion of the tennis race, it appeared time to disassemble things and take her situation. This work is a pleasure to Marat - apparently how will slowly furnishing their own homes, he wanted more than once, getting ready once again to the airport or writing out of the ordinary hotel. Books on art, photographs of memorable set, massive Furniture of high quality, modern appliances, but what you do not see the house Marat Safin - this is his war trophies and photos from the courts. "Why are they to me? I did not collect "- he says casually. We climb to the second floor with stunning views of the old Moscow. Hospitable host serves tea. By tea - honey from apiaries Luzhkov in a wooden barrel, donated personally by the mayor. Marat boasts dishes with khokhloma a list: "This is the real thing, it is not for fun. Not bought in the souvenir shops, and at the factory. Yes, here he has all this. As he himself.

- You have almost a month free man. How does it feel?
- I have not yet realized that the finished tennis career. When 25 years of doing the same thing, to reorganize is not so simple. Usually at this time I went to Spain, now I do not need to rush anywhere. So good that you can safely eat breakfast, and not to run headlong to the gym.

- But Moscow - a city that does not hold to the measured rest ...
- If I did nothing, probably, would have chosen a place to live warmer. But I am a patriot of his city, his country, I have here a lot of friends, acquaintances, of cases. I need to move on, somewhere to grow, to spend your time on something useful.

- Is going to go somewhere to study?
- For growth in any business requires training. But you must first establish a way of life, then choose a lesson, and then you go to learn a little. What is the meaning of something to teach, if it can not be useful?

- You ran the Olympic Committee, but at the last moment withdrew candidacy - afraid that the work would be too boring?
- Maybe it will reveal the secret, but on the court, too, not fun. I decided to run for vice president prematurely, now I go to the Council promote the Olympic Committee of Russia. Sport - my life, I held it for 25 years. I'm here all is clear, I am talking with people in one language. Then I consider it my duty to return the sport that he told me at one time gave. I know what needs to be done to make people more involved in health, than other things.

- And what do I do?
- Recently, I attended the opening of a modern sports and fitness complex in Nizhny Novgorod region. Shantsev loves sports, so in this region has much regional program - already built 13 of the 42 such complexes. These modern multi-functional facilities, where the basketball court, playgrounds for mini football, hockey, volleyball, courts and swimming pools - everything your heart desires, in our country is very small. This is the most basic, what needs to be addressed in order to distract people from the street.

- Your sister Dinara said that at the end of a career dream to open a beauty salon. Do you have any plans "for the soul"?
- In men, this question is different - it can not discover something for the soul. If a man for something is taken, it must be profitable. I have some ideas, but talk about it soon, too much effort to make that all coalesced.

- And do you see more than the head or performer?
- Go head to be difficult - no experience necessary knowledge. So first work for a performer understand the whole kitchen, and then, hopefully, be able to lead. Do not think that it superslozhnyh.

- Your mom told me that in tennis you start playing without much effort - just picked up a racket, and all. Is that true?
- Actually, I dreamed of becoming a footballer. But my mother worked as a tennis coach. Keep me was not with anyone, and I found myself on the court. As a child I did not like tennis. But playing like a good idea and 14 years was in Spain. In Russia, it was impossible to engage in sports - there was no rooms, I could not buy himself a tennis racket or balls. I was very lucky - found a sponsor. The man gave the money and said: "Play". It would be foolish not to use it.

- Probably, it was difficult to be in 14 years in a foreign country?
- First, I lived in the family, when the first money earned, moved to a rented apartment. Moms-dad are not around, lawlessness. But I myself knew that I needed discipline, as this is my only chance to survive. At first I really did not say in English or Spanish. In the evening went to school to engage in the language with adults. I lived then at $ 60 a month.

- It was a stressful situation for you?
- Normal, simply save on everything. Fortunately in Valencia prices penny. My friends spent largely on Coca-Cola, chips, chocolate bars. I have no such temptations - from childhood accustomed to eat right, do not like it all. But I had the opportunity to travel. We, as a normal European teenagers are thrown off and the rest in Italy, in France. Well, people are lucky - all around me was a very warm atmosphere. In Spain, people know how to enjoy life, for that do not need much - living space, car, work on weekends to relax. They have fifteen hundred holidays of the year, and during the day they sleep an hour - siesta! Coming together, discussing football, relationships, whatever. And in Moscow at any coffee shop you come from anywhere and hear only talk about business. What a life?

- And did you have a lot to be happy?
- Three things: to pay utilities, fill the car and simple food. I live alone, do not buy the rags, the pathos restaurants do not go. I no longer remember any of the fashionable places. In Moscow there is a nice inexpensive restaurants, where people know me, and I'm comfortable to be there.

- You have a stunning view from the window, a cozy apartment, it means you value comfort you, too?
- To live in comfort, you should see the target, and know whether you're ready to go to her to start to honestly admit to yourself what you want, and advance to abandon laments like "that prevents", "this is lacking." If you have a goal, then half the job, consider, already been done. Everything I had planned to start a career, I realized. But this is a big job and great sacrifices.

- Can you recall the most vivid moments of his career? Maybe it was 1998 when you named the most promising athlete, or 2000-th, when you won the US Open and became the first racket of the world?
- Life consists of stages. Tennis career too. In the 98-m, I more or less played. In 2000, something won a good ... time goes by, and in every phase of a career going reappraisal. Victory at every stage is important in its own way - to compare them is impossible. I won and some not so much - only 15. They told me all the roads.

- But there were also reverse situation, in the final of Australian Open in 2002 you failed to defeat Swede Johansson and announced. What do you have a nervous breakdown ...
- Well, imagine you play constantly, and once a week from any loose. The habit, but it is impossible to remain indifferent to defeat. Of course, I never showed mean - not crying, not denied in the locker room. But to defeat, too, must prepare and approach constructively. If the movement does not go up, then you've peaked, to look for the causes of "slip".

- On the court you are very emotional, you still remember Roland Garros in 2004, when, having won the next point Felix Mantilla, you pulled the shorts. And of course, all these broken rackets. Such passions are running high just on the court or in life, you're too impulsive person?
- In life I was much calmer. But if you will bring, can be broken. I do not like in people stupidity and unready. Kills when it is necessary to explain something, chew. Erudition - it is great, but if you do not savvy, you do not deserve it. To quickly savvy, need outdoor conditioning. A mixture of experience and knowledge of survival - the optimal mixture for a businessman in Moscow.

- How do you know the street? From prosperous Valencia?
- Oh come on, we all grew up on the street! So now, children sit at home - is cut in the console or chatyatsya, and in the 80's there were no mobile, no internet, only to appear color TVs. I spent all my childhood in the yard. So I do not get lost. In any situation I find out. Besides tennis brings great character. On the court you go out alone. This is not hockey, where a crowd of running, and someone can throw off its jamb.

- What role in your fate played a coach, Peter Lundgren, who also worked with Roger Federer?
- There are very few professionals. I wish I met him quite late. The child can still be sent, but at 24 years playing style has already been formed, you have the habit - how you love to train, how to play, to break something very difficult. My character is not particularly sweet, so I understand a lot, but could not - stubbornness inherent genetics, all questions to the parents.

- Many of your colleagues recognized that very envious of you, because even when you lose, stands rooting for you.
- I just play them longer. Davydenko, for example, began in 2001. I am a professional tennis veteran already.

- And did you tend to envy?
- There is always the one who has something to do best. Exhaust oneself silly desire to have a very cool clock in the world, when you have only appeared first money, time, something at all hours of the same. I now take off my hat to Roman Abramovich, the man is modest comfortable watch that show him pressure and pulse.

- After the wedding Davydenko you said that you get married four years later, when an end of career ...
- Fourth year just gone. Term has not yet reached

- You're ripe for a serious relationship?
- Hard to say, not referring to a specific person. I'm not going to seek a bride for the ad.

- What is it lacking in girls with whom you met?
- Someone parted, because they were too young, with some miles - because they are too different. But almost everyone with whom I had anything slightest, I left well.

- Jealous often, but most had to be jealous?
- Everyone who loved necessarily jealous, because it is impossible to be indifferent to a close friend. This is normal, so that, unfortunately, yes.

- Your parents have over 60, probably, they increasingly ask you a question about the grandchildren?
- Of course, they want to. But everything must happen by itself. Sometimes, you come to the restaurant and see a couple: come, sit opposite each other and sit. It is seen that between them have nothing at all. Why do it? Marriage should bring joy. I want to, I was comfortable with the person that she was an independent person with goals, objectives, vision of life. The main thing is do not want to break from her anywhere. Just sit and watch without trying to fill a pause. To make fun can be had - this is very rare, actually. Option someone to throw behind his back and pull myself I'm not interested.

- You seem pretty clear about what you want.
- Usually, everything works quite differently than expected. I am totally happy with any scenario. In the unpredictable - all the sweetness of adventure. Life - прикольная thing, this new knowledge, meetings, feeling turns. I am not afraid of anything, and I was all interesting. You can travel, make friends, walk-in guests. What more do you want? The fact that we can sit, see, speak and normally cross the road - this is happiness! We must appreciate what we have,

- So people say, the survivors in the crash. Where did you get such ideas?
- Many people do not realize that they have everything in life (pah-pah-pah) офигительно! Nature handed them all that it should be. And they complain that they were not given money, work and Stay at the resort. What can you say? Well, excuse me, let's move! I had gemorroynye situation, as well as all, but I did not lose heart, struggled.

- Like that time when you went to the mountains?
- A couple of years ago I was tired and began to drive. Friends gathered in an expedition to the Himalayas, I asked them. 6-7 hours of summer, and you're in a completely different world. We ascended to the sixth highest mountain on the planet. I was kicked out of the situation that I had, and realized that the percent of 70 - Rat Race, the remaining 30 require a decision. Of course, the part of my life may look like just a fairy tale - championships, parties, press conferences. But, in fact, it is the same Groundhog Day, as in any ordinary person, just different trajectories. He is a "home-plug-office-shop-house" and I have "airport-hotel-court-hotel-airport." From the lack of emotions going crazy. From time to time you just do not do: sit, walk, eat, understand, everything will fall into place by itself.

- I do not intend to release memoir along the lines of Andre Agassi and Monica Seles?
- To write a book, you must be a person much larger scale. Deal, played well in tennisochek. And what can I tell? I also was not life itself. Also need to write a memoir "curtain".

- January 27, you will turn 30 years old. Like going to celebrate?
- All these official celebration of - very sad story. Every attempt to formulate a toast prettier. Someone peredarit 25 th cufflinks, lying idle. Someone will come up, as if beautiful "Srul", telling tall tales. Instead of a rest, I'll be sweating, someone with whom to plant, so that no one was hurt. And all this for their own money, let me note! I do not blame anybody, all the rest, as they want, but I do not need this. Do without cufflinks. It would be easy to meet with friends, laugh, drink - mentally sit. I'm good, I have everything, Wish me health, and nothing more.

"I was really disappointed in Moscow [earlier this year] when I played against Marat. Mostly, like 80 per cent, supported Safin," lamented Davydenko after his win over US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the final of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. "For sure, it was the last tournament for him. But I saw how many people liked him, how they supported him and enjoyed how he played. I hope that now Marat is finished - and no longer as famous in Russia - that I will be the favourite for Russia and everybody will support me."

powiedział co wiedział Rolling Eyes

aczkolwiek biore pod rozwage poziom języka angielskiego koli i fakt,ze dłuższe wypowiedzi w tym jezyku przychodza mu z trudem xD Very Happy

Kati

ależ wredota zazdrosna!!! Rolling Eyes

ale nic nie poradzisz, Kola, możesz grać jak dwóch Federerów razem wziętych, wygrywać każdy turniej, ale Marata i tak będą więcej kochać i więcej uwielbienia mu okazywać.
po prostu ten typ tak ma. Twisted Evil

Lena

Eeee a ja myśle, że wypowiedź Koliusza miała kontekst typowo żartobliwy i żaden inny. Ide o zakład i jak zamykam oczy to widze jak Kola uśmiecha sie szeroko i szczerze mówiąc to Wink

I też nie wydaje mi sie żeby Rosjanin miał problemy z angielskim na tyle aby nie móc sie swobodnie wypowiadać, a jeśli idzie o zazdrość to już tym bardziej nie sądze Mr. Green
