ICYMI: Legends of Tennis episode 1 here with Stefan Edberg -->> czcams.com/video/pN6Rk-Sjb2A/video.html
4:16 c'mon Tennis TV, you guys tried to make it look like Safin was YEN1 in 2000 but Gustavo Kuerten finished the year on top.
I love Safin too but he doesn't need that.
He lost the crown to Guga on December 03 2000.
He denied Sampras a 6th US open when Sampras was on a roll. He also denied Fed an AO title. Dude was a beast.
The most handsome tennis player of all time.🤩🥰🤩🌺🍁also one of the talented.
One of the most memorable players of all time. He was so great, that he didn't even need to have a huge amount of trophies to show for it. What a character he was. Very much appreciate his time and the history books are that much brighter with him in it.
Marat is still my favourite player of all time!
Mine too! Miss him
Mine too! Outstanding talent!
He's a legend.
What's the name of the song?
Marat forever a tennis legend! What a special charisma he has! He was such an entertaining player)
I love this guy! His playing style is unique and no one's able to imitate him.
Absolut #legend
Full of Life, ❤️, humour...
So incredibly talented. He stopped Sampras, Federer and defeated the best of his time. Pity that his selfpresure and low selfcontrol did not help him to win many more big titles.
I will never forget his success here in #madrid, defeating Agassi (SF) and getting the trophy.
I got a picture with him, my treasure.
An inspiring Spirit of tennis history.
He left the ATP tour too early.
👌🏼🎾🥇🏆👏🏼
never forget the first time i saw safin on tv. He beat Agassi roland garros 1998. that was an awesome match.
My favorit player of all the time!
Watched this with the biggest smile. What a legend indeed. Thank you, Tennis TV.
My favourite player of his era.
A unique character ! An outstanding player. An absolute rebel on court. And a great personality. Really loved watching him play. Thanks Marat ! #legend
In my 41 years of age I have already seen a few players go through the tour and Marat has been the player with the greatest natural talent (He did things not learned) on a tennis court that I have never seen with incredible ease. He could have had a longer and more successful career but that was not necessary to leave his mark. Charismatic player with everything and his attacks of breaking rackets left and right but always loved and above all highly respected by his teammates. ¡Great player!
Without the injuries and with love for the game like the top 3 Safin would have won at least 15 gram Slams He was simply just that good.Safin retired at 29 after spending over 4 years out through injuries and another 18 months due to simply having a good time.Yet he won both the US open and Australian open beating Sampras in Us open final and Federer in the Australia open semi final.He won 2 Davis Cups where he played amazing tennis and was the main reason Russia won them.He Also won 5 Masters 1000 tournaments and he also 1 of only 10 -20 players to get to the Semi final of all 4 Slams.
Easy power off of both wings. Powerful serve and excellent court sense when on his A game. Salute to one of my top favorites Marat Safin.
I see Marat in real in Paris. He was the first big tall all-rounder guy in tennis and that was scary!
The sound of him beating the ball was like no other. And the serve....
Marat was the kind of athlete that would be hard to believe in the 80s. Tall, Fast and powerful
Величайших игрок всех времен и народов. Он заставил больше влюбится к этому виду спорта.Мне приходилось наблюдать за его игрой на кубке президента в Ташкенте 2000 годы.Не соблюдая спортивный режим, провисев в ночном клубе до глубокой ночи умудрялся выигрывать у первой десятки матчи. Жаль что, со временем природа берет свое. Потом повзрослев такой режим не позволил Марату больше брать GS,а Жаль.В современном теннисе больше нет таких харизматичных игроков Все равно низкий поклон МАРАТИК МУБИНОВИЧ! БРАВИСИМО.
As Safin retired almost 12 years ago it's hard to imagine that him and Federer are actually almost the same generation. I would have enjoyed their rivalry a couple of more years, though.
In one of his interviews he said that the had retired because could not beat/compete Federer/Rafa/Djokovic any more (due to injuries)
Fed actually came to prominence after Safin. Safin slightly ahead of Fed.
In terms of age Safin is only a year older, but hit his stride a little bit earlier than Fed. I would consider them same generation
unfortunately that AO semi in 2005 is the only epic clash between those 2
@@jakehuang3545 Safin had another match win against Federer, in a competent match.
Phenomenal Marat safin.
My guy, my dude. I wouldn't change it anyway anyhow, even for an undisputed goat triple digits GS winner. Davaiii Maratik!!
He was incredible! I loved his rivalry with Federer. It's a shame we didn't see more of him on court because of his wrist injury.
The numbers are not fair with him, with his unique style, his charm and bravery. I really miss him.
The most charming and attractive tennis player in the tennis and behaviour on and off the court on my opinion! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🍰🥂♥️
Weird to think that after winning the AO in 05' and having that big match with Fed..he never won another title...retired at 29...he is truly a legend no matter what!
He was my absolute favorite player!!!
Most charismatic player ever.
Such a legend
Safin gave me such emotions in childhood that I have never experienced again.
I remember him. He was such a great player.
I'll always miss Safin. one of my favorite players of all time. And I'm glad that the guys who fought against the two best generations in tennis are getting some recognition as proper legends. Hopefully they'll touch on guys like Nalbandian too.
A unique character and player! Just pure admiration from the big Russian.
who are all became Nole and Delpo fan directly inherited from safin fan and never been fan of Fedal. The wink at 4:25.. the charisma he had on and off the court is unbelievable. Three of them have unique charisma no one fill it.
I feel like Safin is the only one from the previous era who could keep up with today's level of tennis
Agassi and PETE would beg to differ
Today’s level of tennis stinks. All baseline shitshow
Sampras
@@farid1406 so would A-Rod, Lleyton, McEnroe
Hard to tell. The technology has changed so much that it's really hard to think of how players from one generation would play in another, because players trained and developed strategies based on the tech they had. Those wooden rackets were best for a service and volley approach ... but does that mean that a player from that generation couldn't have learned the groundstrokes approach preferred today with the especially light rackets? Idk. And of course the change from the 90s/2000s isn't so extreme as that ... but even the technology Sampras was using would be impossible to find among players today.
we don't see players like this anymore...ahh the old days
And some idiots say "weak era" while now we have chumps like Berretini in the top 10 or Raonic N3 in 2016.
@@masters.1000 Djokovic >Federer .fed is weak era champion
@@rishbahpandey8697 So when Đoković loses to old Federer, he's even weaker.
@@masters.1000 20 year old Djokovic was too much for prime Federer 😂😂
@@rishbahpandey8697 One match and barely beat him in tiebreaks.
Even Volandri defeated him that year.
I was his big fan in his playing days. What a marvelous player he was❤️
Safin and Agassi the two players I miss on the tour the most such clean hitters of the ball and great personalities
Absolute legend!
Safin Prime was fearsome, if he hadn't had a knee injury maybe he could keeping his bestial level, I loved his aggressive and talented tennis.
The wrist injury too.
One of my favourite players to watch, a manly game of tennis and lots of charisma. Too bad he was less strict with his training regime (to put it mildly), he should have won a lot more tournaments, especially GS with his game. I remember giving Federer, when Fedex was at his peak, a run for his money and a lesson or two.
Во многом благодаря ему я полюбил теннис еще в детстве. Таких харизматичных спортсменов у нас, к сожалению, очень мало. Поэтому я болел за него, ведь каждая его игра заставляла переживать. Особенно на АО, когда он победил Федерера в полуфинале. Теперь, спустя много лет, я снова полюбил теннис и снова благодаря старым воспоминаниям. Спасибо тебе, Марат!
that was such a cool videooooo! love safin man, no one else like him ❤️
My favorite player of the 2000's... loved seeing him smash backhands (and the odd racket or two) all over the place.
My first tennis crush.
This dude made me return to Tennis in 2004 after a 12-year hiatus.
All hail the greatest ball striker of the sport!!
Despite what he's won, Marat is still one of the sport's biggest "what ifs" alongside Nalbandian. Huge power from both wings, great touch, big serve, fairly quick and excellent shotmaking. He played such an effortless game, a true blue power player. Nalbandian and Marat were the only two at the time to take on a prime Fed and beat him handily. Marat had no less talent than anyone in the Big 3. If injuries hadn't wrecked him and he had more mental focus like Nadal, he could have easily added another 5-6 slams to his name. Nalbandian has the best two-handed backhand of all time, with Safin a close second. Alongside all that talent was a charismatic man, always fun to see him play.
Would of loved to of seen Nalbandian and Safin fulfil more of their potential shame they didn’t remain that consistent and stayed away from injuries
@@jonathanterrett Both mental cases lol. Nalbandian to me was the greatest player to never win a slam.
@@Irfan87 agree with you about Nalbandian insane he never won a slam
@@jonathanterrett Won a Masters though and beat Nadal and Fed along the way. Played some unbelievable.
@@Irfan87 true remember it they had pretty solid careers to be honest maybe Safin had a slightly better career won two slams and got to number 1 but Nalbandian won end of season masters safin never did but all that aside miss them both on the tour and Agassi 2
Big hitter. Love Marat
Safin literally had everything to be a Tennis superstar: power, groundstrokes, serve, flare, looks, wins against legends, and youth (at one point, the youngest world no.1)
he had everything except consistency... such a shame
Well... he is a superstar.
It wasn't a shame, he *was* a superstar. Beat Federer, Djokovic, Agassi, Sampras at Slams, brought home 2 Davis cups, world number 1 at 20. Not sure if you understand how difficult and unusual this is. Fewer than 10 players who have ever played tennis have done all these things. He was also loved by fans, players and the tennis community, it's a big success for a kid with no resources from Russia.
Loved his fire...!!
Love this series. Would prefer them to be narrated though.
Marat Safins Best would get him into the top 10 players that ever lived but 4 years of injuries,enjoying the women and good times a little to much and retireing at just 29 and still beating Federer twice, djorkovic twice in the only 2 matches they played,second match was the Wimbledon 2008 in the second round.Even though Safin got to the semi final that year and played well in beating lopez and wavarinka on the way,watch the djorkovic match because it was Safin at his true best for the last time.He basically won Russia the Davis cup twice because he won all his matches in 02 and only lost 2 in 06.Beat prime Sampras to win US open in 2000 and let's be honest if Sampras hadn't gotten the injuries he got he wouldn't have retired at 32 after winning the US open in 03.Safin at his best beats most players that have lived and given the greatest fantastic matches and beaten them as proved in Australia 05 when Federer hadn't lost a match since rollan Harris the year before.The man's a legend either way.
Me encantaba su tenis, hacia ver todo muy simple y tenía una potencia increíble, un crack, saludos desde Chile
Tremendous talent he could have been so much more before all the injuries to the wrist and knee. Ironic, that Del Potro was Safin's final opponent ....and Del Potro had to end his career due to injury
Safin is GOAT
Y habla un español perfecto. His spanish is on point 👌🏻
Very nice player just love it
3:04 unbelievable speed
Да, Марат талантливым был, жаль, что до конца так и не раскрылся из-за травм, а в последствии и потери интереса к теннису.
He should have won 7/8 GS !!
من الجزائر احبك مارات❤
So nice of you atp
That thumbnail for the vid…the internet has corrupted my mind 😆
If safin is here i expect Kuerten,Agassi,Rafter,Kafelnikov,Muster ,Sampras
Am here
My name is safin xD 😂😂
How do you do a Safin tribute without including the USO final where he straight setted PETE in one of the most glorious displays of baselining in the fast court era?
САФИН❤️БОРЕЦ❤️❤️ СТРАТЕГ❤️❤️ КРАСАВЕЦ ❤️❤️ ХАРЬКОВ ❤️❤️❤️ УКРАИНА ❤️❤️❤️
Big fan of Safin, but he could have won so much more if he believed he could and been more consistent and not lose focus like he did.
Well done. Loved this.
Another one of those "weak era" players that Fed-haters always refer to...😑😒
He was strong enough to make Federer choke on match point 😒
I see where novak djokovic got his play styles from lol
please make an episode of Agssi
If we based in prime only,witouth carrer only prime,the best in history,nobody can beat him in prime
My favorite player after Borg
❤❤❤
Huge hitting is in Russian blood. Satin, khachanov, rublev, davydenko. But huge hitting doesn’t necessarily make you the goat in tennis.
That thumbnail suspicious. Sorry someone had to say it
The next video in the series should be Rafter or J. McEnroe
BRO WHERE I'LL PE ABLE TO WATCH THE ATP CUP TOURNAMENT???
How did he win that point? 0:30
he held in hand at moment of collision?
I guess he held the racket with the tips of his fingers at the moment of contact which was enough to absorb the energy of the ball, so the ball dropped.
4:16 c'mon Tennis TV, you guys tried to make it look like Safin was YEN1 in 2000 but Gustavo Kuerten finished the year on top.
I love Safin too but he doesn't need that.
He lost the crown to Guga on December 03 2000.
Isn't he supposed to lose the point at 00:30 because his racket touches the net before the second bounce?
I also think so.
what is up with everyone facing del potro on their retiring game..
Facing Djokovic twice isnt a numerous occasion
Сафин топ
Why did he retire so early (barely 30 years old) ? Too many injuries ?
Yes
Hello
Marat Safin VS daniil medvedev
Was that Volkov at the end? Safins coach who died in October 2019.
If you mean the guy in red cap its Marc Rosset. Swiss player who won Kremlin cup two times 92 and 93. He loved to play and spend his time in Russia
Damn 2 players who played their last game against delpo and lost
Lol del Portro retires legends rodick and Saffin
Nothing on Marat’s cousins ? 😐
Chriss Cornell is alive Hahahaha
25like
Didn't Guga finish as world number 1 in 2000
1
First
Rafa way better than this joke
Delpo ending the careers of Safin and Roddick.... which is ironic because he is the nicest guy ever
Delpo ended his one too. He was great player and then had big drop.
