Safin: Words of Wisdom

Postby Daniel on Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:30 pm

I think this may have been posted a few years back, but I stumbled across this after searching for what Marat has been up to since his retirement...

I forgot how much I missed the Safinator. Incidentally, he will be playing doubles with Agassi at an exo in Taiwan in early 2011.

Jeff Hsu, executive director of Integration Sports, said he invited the former US and Russian stars to improve the level of Taiwanese tennis, “As Taiwan cannot hold a formal ATP tour tournament (because Taiwan does not have a ATP -standard tennis court), we have to settle for inviting two retired tennis stars to play exhibition matches,” he told reporters.


Haha! Now that's some tepid praise.

I would love if Safin did commentary, though didn't he say he thought that was a bit pathetic? Then again, notorious tightwad Marat might think differently when his bank account starts to dwindle. The fact that he's doing exos means he wasn't really serious about totally leaving tennis world.
