Marat Safin protects sister Dinara from attacks concerning her ranking

Dinara Safina is constantly attacked for being a world number one without winning a Grand Slam (the most brutal attacker is Serena Williams, in my opinion) and her brother Marat, the winner of two Grand Slam titles, is defending his hard-working younger sister.

Here are just some excerpts from Marat's recent interview:

She spends so much time on court. I think she is more professional than all the players together.

Nobody believed that she going to be top 10 even two, three years ago. So look where she is right now.

So it’s a little bit ?? it gets tough on her. But she’s there. She’s fighting. She’s trying. I’m really proud of her that she can stand, and I tell everybody to **** off basically in every press conference. I would do this way, but unfortunately she’s very polite to you guys.

And the best comment:

Q. Now that you stopped, what about coaching her?

MARAT SAFIN: Oh, you want me to hang myself? (laughter.)

Kiiiiim!

Tako sam srećan zbog njenog kako se čini veoma obećavajućeg povratka, da me čak ni Anin poraz nije izbacio iz koloseka.

E to je vrhunska teniserka!

Prosle vise od godinu dana (i uzgajanja deteta, ako se ne varam), odmah po povratku smazes protivnike/ce sa 2:0 u setovima, i to Prasoli koja je (hteli mi to ili ne) osvojila poslednji turnir...

Da samo videcemo kako ce Kimi igraditi dalje mozda je ovo bio samo dobar start.

A Dzej Dzej danas protivu Azarenko-to ce biti kriticno

Klajsters dobila i Kuznjecovu. Bila bi fora da osvoji turnir.

Peneta je prošle godine skoro redovno dobijala Crnu Veneru, nije to ništa čudno.

Drago mi je što Klajsters ide dalje. By by Kuzi

Klajsters verovatno ide na Safinu. A što bi voleo nju da pobediiiiii.

Ne znam što se svi cimate oko Azarenke, nije ništa posebno. Kad je JJ mogla da pobedi Lisicu dva puta, moći će i skimera.

#1576837

By Marvin - 13 Avg 2009, 22:21

Pa sada će verovatno i Safinu (Safina će jako teško da izdrži ovaj pritisak

)... a dalje... ko zna

Sad još Čaplja da pobedi Kirsteu i biću miran

Zanimljivo mi je to što me Kirstea za razliku od većine WTA tura ne podseća ni na jednog pripadnika životinjskog carstva. Šta više toliko mi se sviđa njeno ime da mi je prosto žao da ga karikiram
