Marat Safin gives good quotes

As evidenced by his post-match comments a little while ago. He had a few choice words for the chair umpire in his five-set win over Vince Spadea and the moment when Safin was called for a foot fault to lose him the fourth set. "I think it was complete bull----," he said. So there's that.

As to the subject of his sister, which Baumbach wrote about earlier, Safin said this: "I think if she will do everything opposite of what I've been doing throughout the years, she will be No. 1 in the world for a long time. That's as simple as it is."

That's advice, people. All my brother ever told me was how to calculate 8% of a check.
