I’m still in shock from Marat Safin beating Novak Djokovic in the 2nd round of Wimbledon. I said earlier that I like Safin – always have – but I also said I’d hoped Djokovic would end Roger Federer’s reign. Now I’m throwing all my support behind the tall, dark and handsome Russian. When he’s on top of his game he can be pretty damn unbeatable so let’s hope he stays that way for another week and three days.
Check out the post-match press conferences here:
I really like Safin’s slightly grumpy air, sarcasm and deadpan humour. It’s his frequent mental slipups on court that I want to smack him for. The least someone so good-looking and charismatic could do is win more matches so we can see more of him, no?
