Aussi Open
One of my favourite current professional tennis players, Marat Safin, finally managed to win another grand slam today.
After winning US Open against Andre Agassi in 2000, Marat had been in various finals, but he never managed to win any of them. He is a large guy (193 cm!), but he is very fast and very precise. However, his game, up to this grand slam, was inconcistant and unreliable. It was normal to see Marat being ahead 6-2 in a set and then losing the same set!
It seems like his new coach has managed to control Marat's nerves and has thus made him a consistent, cool, and precise player. I am very happy about this. Marat Safin is a great player and I hope he manages to win more grand slams.

I don't really follow professional tennis, although, I sometimes will watch some of the Wimbledon action. I used to like to play tennis, but it was just for fun. I got lots of exercise trying to get the ball back over the net. :) Do you play Khodadad?
