I think kiefer may be an interesting opponent but would still expect marat to breeze through. Honestly i think Marat has to be favourite as Roger really did struggle today against Ivan One tie that interests me is the all Britain clash between Henman and Rusedski. Go marat go and dont forget he has got doubles aswell Safinno1, I agree, Kiefer will be tricky, but yes I agree Marat will go through. And about Roger today, I also found the result interesting. Good for Ivan. and for Henman and Rusedski this too should be very interesting. Good Luck Marat |

Safin is Sulky??Sulky Safin blasts mediaBy Richard Eaton in Dubai February 21, 2005 AUSTRALIAN Open champion Marat Safin launched a blistering attack on the media this morning. Bidding to take away another of Roger Federer's titles at the $1 million Dubai Open which starts today, he said that he took strength from a worsening relationship with those who wrote about him. "I learnt a lot of stuff," said the Russian as he reflected on a 2004 trying to struggle back to the top. "I burnt myself too many times. I had this belief that people are good, but then I realise that you can't trust anybody. You have to say you find yourself in the newspapers and sometimes I read articles which are ridiculous. "I used to say I have to explain everything, and I opened my mouth and explained more than I should. I will not do it any more. "People try to sell sensation, and claim I said this and that. It's not good, but now I know you have to be careful what you say." Safin has been particularly annoyed at allegations that, during his lengthy spell out of the top 20, he had been indulging in alcohol abuse. He also denied that, as reports recently claimed, he had been criticising his sister Dinara Safina. "I only said she had to do it for herself. That is advice, not criticism," he said. Safin, who is seeded to meet his Australian Open victim Federer again in the Dubai final next weekend, has a none-too-easy first round against Nicolas Kiefer, the former world No.4 from Germany. Federer, the champion in Rotterdam overnight, starts against Ivo Minar, a qualifer from the Czech Republic. Andre Agassi, who has an opening match today with Radek Stepanek, the in-form Czech, suggested that at the age of almost 35 he was playing on partly to fund his academy for under-privileged children. "It is wonderful seeing what a child can do with a bit of opportunity and hope in life, and when someone takes an interest in what they do, to see them dream and think about the future as if it were a reality," he said. Agassi played down his chances after an operation, which he believes may have solved his hip problems for good, but has left him short of matches. "I have not been pain-free for a long time and if you don't have confidence in playing matches you can expect to struggle," he said. The draw has also thrown up a clash between the two leading Britons, Tim Henman, the third seed, and Greg Rusedski, the former US Open champion. The two have not faced each other for more than three years.
