I always liked his game even if I don't have the same game as he does. I liked his attitude and the way he played. The way he act on the court I like a lot. He was concentrated a lot during all the matches. And he was playing the best tennis on the very important points, during the very important matches. That's what I liked about Pete Sampras. That's why he was always my idol. He finished his tennis career - I'm really sorry that I didn't have a chance to meet him and to play with him. But I hope in the next two years I will have a chance to meet him. And since he finished the tennis, I like a lot Federer's game and Safin. Safin actually played, not same, but similar game to mine - very aggressive and using all the opportunities. I had the chance to play against Safin in Australian Open and it was a great moment and a great experience, my first appearance on the big center court." Continue to read full article...
