Zitat des Tages von Marat Safin:
I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.
You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.
Whenever I am losing, it's like, 'It's his fault'. And whenever I'm winning it's like, 'That's us'. That's the team, the people.
I have no regrets.
I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.
I enjoy my life.
I've lived my life the way I wanted to, whether scaling the mountains, partying long into the night or having fun playing soccer.
It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.
I am not a player.
I love tennis, but I just don't like grass.
I was making comebacks every single year. That makes it difficult mentally. It causes a lot of stress.
We live because of the dreams.
I'm different than another person who wants to lay back and do nothing for rest of the life and talk nonsense on ESPN... I will not do that. I want to achieve something else.
If you're losing, just be a man; be a man and lose as a man.
I think as a guy you need a little bit to be on your own from early on, to start to live your own life, and try to understand what is going on around you, you have to be able to survive.
It's too many questions about what I'm going to do, why I'm retiring, and this and that. So I answer the same question, I don't know, a thousand times.
I could go and make commercials left and right and pretend like I am a celebrity, but that is not me.
If I was the type of person who had tennis, tennis, tennis all the time and I went to bed and ended up dreaming about tennis, I would go nuts.
No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.
My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player.
Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.
You cannot change me; this is the way I am.
I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.
You cannot take all the chances you get.
Five sets is a kind of lottery. Anything can happen.
I try to do my best to have fun off the court.
I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.
It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.
I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.
New York is a fantastic city.
There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment.
One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.
It was really impossible to break through in Russia. We couldn't buy any balls. We really didn't have any courts, no rackets, nothing. And no people to practice with.
I'm not a materialistic person.
I'm not fighting with myself.
There wasn't a rich father or rich family that paid for everything that I have right now, so I worked my way.
