Marat Safin Time Quotations

I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.

I would have loved to win here in Moscow playing for the first time in front of so many Russian fans and of course I'm disappointed by losing,

But it was still a great match. I don't know the last time I played such great tennis. It was probably my best match ever on grass.

I will take one week off, definitely not go to New Haven, try to take care of my knee and try to get ready for U.S. Open, where I should be at my best. So because of the knee, I would skip New Haven and try to go to the doctor, spend much more time with him so he can fix me at least so I can play U.S. Open.

All the time you are under pressure because there is Pete Sampras opposite you so you have to come up with great shots.
