Massu vs Safin (Hamburg 2007)

[Ripper]

Safin is winning the first set 3-0 (2 breaks). Guys, this is the Safin we all like to watch (at least, for the moment). Check this out, if you can!

Edit: 4-0 now.

As soon as you posted the topic he's lost it. He is up 4-1 and serving at 15-40.

He was broken and the score is 4-2.

Whar a joke Safin is.I guess he still plays the game for fun and making peanuts for money.

I think Safin only plays well if he has something to prove.

Like he'll play well against Federer, Sampras, possibly Laver, McEnroe,Borg,Wilander,Connors,Agassi...you know, the LEGENDS. It's always nice to beat a legend and Marat enjoys that.

With lower level competition, he's probably not motivated.

He better be motivated pretty soon because he will fade pretty fast if he doesn't.

Safin wins against a tough clay opponent~! Ready to start a winning trend?

I hope so but I wouldn't bet on it personally. If he does well overall in this tournament then I might actually believe that.

More tough ones ahead for Safin. Ferrero next then Federer, as long as the latter doesn't lose to Hrbaty or Monaco.

I wanted Massu to win, but am really happy for Safin. I feel sad for him when he loses, knowing what he's capable of.
