2005

After winning the 2005 Australian Open, Safin attributed his recent revival and more consistent performance to the calming presence of his new coach Peter Lundgren, saying that "I never believed in myself before at all, until I started to work with him." Lundgren had been Federer's coach, until parting ways at the end of 2003; Safin hired Lundgren the following year. He was later defeated in the early rounds of each of the seven tournaments he played between the Australian Open and the French Open. In June 2005, shortly after his unsuccessful French Open campaign, Safin made a surprise finals appearance at the Wimbledon tune-up tournament in Halle on grass. He lost the final narrowly to the defending champion, Roger Federer. Peter Lundgren (born January 29, 1965) is a tennis coach and former touring tennis player from Sweden. ...

Characteristics

Safin is known for his emotional outbursts during matches, and has smashed numerous rackets.[25][26][27] Safin is estimated to have smashed 48 racquets in 1999.[27]


He frequently verbally berates himself for lost points, speaking in the languages of Russian, Spanish and English. He is also known for having arguments with the chair umpires.


Playing style

Safin's game is based around his physical size and strength to outplay his opponents generally with big strokes and pace. Although Safin is 193 cm (6 ft 4 in) tall, he has excellent footwork and footspeed on all surfaces unlike other players of his height. Lack of consistency and focus has been described as Safin's weakness.[28][29][30][31] However when Safin is mentally fit, he possesses a very powerful all-round game that is capable of defeating most opponents on virtually any surface. Although Safin is a big hitter from both wings, a big server and a solid volleyer, he considers grass his least favorite surface which has been generally dominated by players who have playing styles similar to Safin.[32][8] Safin's best performance at the Wimbledon was reaching the quarterfinals in 2001. Safin dismissed his performance in 2001 as a result of luck.[33] Safin says that "It's difficult to [break serve]. It's difficult to play off the baseline because [of] a lot of bad bounces."[33]


Equipment

Marat Safin officially uses the Head Microgel Prestige mid-size tennis racquet even though he really uses the Head Liquidmetal Prestige mid-size racquet just painted. Safin won his first Grand Slam the US Open in 2000, where he used the Head Prestige Classic 600. A year later Safin signed with Dunlop and played with the Dunlop 200MG. In 2002 Safin reverted back to using the Head Prestige Classic 600 and has played with the PC600 ever since, although painted as the following racquets purely for promotional purposes (including the Dunlop), respectively: iPrestige, LiquidMetal Prestige, the Flexpoint Prestige, and currently the Microgel Prestige.[34] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (2431x1529, 2094 KB) Taken by myself, User:AndonicO, at a practice court during the 2006 Nasdaq 100 Open. ...
