I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.
Marat Safin
Image
You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.

The Olympics is not for tennis and tennis does not need the Olympics. It is not my goal in life to win a gold medal.
Marat Safin
Image
Don't get too excited when I am winning, and don't get too depressed when I am losing. Just keep it cool.

Image
I'm not fighting with myself.

I could go and make commercials left and right and pretend like I am a celebrity, but that is not me.
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?

It's frustrating when you want to play but can't. I didn't touch a racket for three weeks and when I started playing again last week, I still felt some pain in my wrist.

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.
Marat Safin
Image
Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.

New York is a fantastic city.

You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.

No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.

My friend, there is nothing so sexy as a woman who is angry. Perhaps when she is even throwing things.

It's a completely different situation right now because last year it was the time that nobody expected anything from me anything -- I had nothing to lose, basically I was starting from zero. And now I'm back in Top 5. And for me it's a different stage.
