Marat Safin
If you're losing, just be a man, be a man and lose as a man. Don't pretend that you are injured and then you start running around and start to hit winners, and then all of a sudden you pull the hands up in the air after winning the match. I mean, what kind of sportsman are you? What kind of man are you?
Marat Safin
I don't care about losses anymore.
Marat Safin
I'm not a materialistic person.
Marat Safin
One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.
