В последнее время ловлю себя на мысли, что меня не расстраивают проигрыши Марата, "ну проиграл и проиграл", а когда побеждает "ВАУ!!!!!! Молодец!!!!!"...
Interview with Marat Safin
Donnerstag, 15.06.2006
Q: Tough match. Obviously you are not too happy with the loss, but anything you can take away from the match?
SAFIN: The only thing is that I was a little too scared maybe, a little too tense to win the breakpoints and chances I had in the second set. I think that was the key of the match. I had 0:40 two times and unfortunately couldn’t produce anything out of it. I let it slip away and then it was over. Maybe I should have been braver, should have done something different. Just mistakes from my side.
Q: You have played him many times before. Did anything surprise you about the match?
SAFIN: No. He’s not a comfortable player to play against. Every time he plays me it seems he doesn’t lose anything. He plays his best tennis and he’s pretty comfortable with my game. He knows what to do against me. That’s why I have some difficulties against him. He’s kind of like Santoro.
Q: How many players do you face generally who are like that, who seem to match up well with you?
SAFIN: Just Santoro and him, who are uncomfortable players and with whom I don’t feel comfortable on the court.
