Marat's Arrival In Moscow After Austrlian Open 2005
From Moscow Komsomolets
Translated by Maria V
Marat Safin: "I have only one desire - to sleep off!"
The conqueror of Australia arrived in Moscow with the new girlfriend.
- Lord, women, leave me alone! - Marat Safin said in a doleful voice to women journalists and admirerers who yesterday waited for him at the Moscow airport "Sheremetyevo-2"...
Never thought that the fresh winner of the Australian Open can have such a sad face!
- We all were here waiting for you, wanted to greet you as hero, and you ran from us around the entire airport - why?
- Because for me this is not necessary. Think yourselves: what emotions can there be after twenty-four hours on the plane and two transfers?! At the moment I am not ready to talk about the serves and the rivals.
- But still, what are your emotions right now??
- To be honest, I just want to sleep off.
Marat arrived in Moscow with his new girlfriend Dasha Zhukova - she is amazingly sweet and intelligent. Absolutely nothing in the style of "typical" models. Seems like Marat is seriously in love - and, possibly, precisely this can explain his new energy on the court.
- Don't even think to ask him about Dasha, one person from the tennis circles whispered to me. - Then he definitely won't give any interview (by the way, the young couple left the airport separately... - E.S.).
While Marat went to the car we had a few words with Shamil Tarpishchev who arrived to meet him with his with assistant Maxim Kozin.
- Shamil Anvyarovich, aren't you going to celebrate Marat's return today?
- We wanted, of course, I immediately suggested a beautiful festive reception but Marat flatly refused.
- Tell me why his parents did not meet him?
- Because he has always been a man who does not love receptions. Principally he does not love receptions.
- It is still strange: Marat now is not simply an idol but universally loved by Russian fans. Can't he really say a few nice words to them? Maybe it's a star pathos?
- No, this is not pathos. He is indeed a very modest person and even deep happiness he keeps inside. Noise, pomposity - this not for him.
