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...
